The attitudes about marijuana are changing. Proponents argue that it is safe or at least no more dangerous than alcohol. This attitude is supported by the availability and decriminalization of “medical marijuana” and “recreational marijuana” in several States, implying that marijuana is safe to use. However, as with alcohol, users need to know and understand the risks and the consequences of using marijuana.
