Americans Believe Cannabis to be Less Harmful than Sugar, New Poll Finds
A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released this morning has found that Americans find tobacco, alcohol and sugar to be more harmful than cannabis.
“When Americans were asked their opinion on the most harmful of four substances, tobacco (49%) and alcohol (24%) came in first and second place, followed by sugar (15%) and marijuana”, says the Wall Street Journal. “Only 8% said marijuana was the most harmful substance.”
The poll also found that young adults are following the news regarding cannabis legalization more than news about Obamacare, the Ukraine or same-sex marriage.
“The poll found 57% of adults between 18 and 35 years old have “seen, read or heard a lot” of news about marijuana, compared to 44% who were well-informed about Obamacare, 39% about Russia sending troops into the Ukraine and 34% about courts overturning bans on gay marriage.”
These results mark the first time a poll has found that Americans find cannabis to be less harmful than sugar.

smoking it is good for most peoples minor health issues . but eating the high dose stuff is prob even better for you. So if you keep those minor things in check, they dont turn into bigger things. Their’s so many people who’ve been cured of several types of cancers, yet the Gov and DEA says it has no medical value. Yet they say their own conduct toward this is beneficial and what they say is the word. lmfao
So I think someone needs to reclassify all schedule drugs, as they really are not based on their schedules, based on some propaganda 50+ yrs ago. President Richard Nixon starting the DEA in 1973 , for his global drug control. It should have been thrown out of commission when they threw him out! Remember he spied on a hand full of people, GW Bush and Obumer have spied on EVERY ONE ! sorry, had to rant. lol
