Marijuana no more Dangerous than Alcohol- Obama

Majority of Americans now favor marijuana legalization. How times change and definition of good morals change over time in America.  President Barack Obama tune is gradually changing on many moral issues and he is now saying weed is no more dangerous to individuals' health than alcohol. This is simply giving good riddance to rubbish.

In an interview with the New Yorker's David Remnick published Sunday, Obama said while he believes marijuana is "not very healthy," the drug isn't as harmful as some insist.

When asked if he believes marijuana is less harmful than alcohol, Obama said it is less damaging "in terms of its impact on the individual consumer."

"It’s not something I encourage, and I’ve told my daughters I think it’s a bad idea, a waste of time, not very healthy," he added.
