Actually Ativan can cause cancer as well as Zopiclone. I found this out by looking at a chart which I can try to find again. I believe it was known carcinogens...perhaps if you type that in google you could find it.
Alcohol was prohibited in the 20s until the early 30s until FDR became President and then it was up to each state to decide to legalize it. Remember history and moonshine? Marijuana is going the same way; Calif,Colorado, Washington DC have legalized it. Other states will follow. Suck it up, Big Pharma
Alcohol and marijuana really cannot be compared. As I have said, there are different strains of marijuana and different amount of THC. Marijuana can be made into butter or oil and if you google it, you can find out how to make cannabis oil capsules with no THC - so ya don't get stoned, just relaxed...people with cancer find cannabinoid oil a godsend as it relieves pain but they can still function.
BTW, marijuana is grown in a 'controlled' environment in a cave somewhere in Saskatchewan, which is in Canada, but it is GMO'd. Just because Ativan is processed in a drug factory does not mean it is safe. Ever read the list of side effects? Withdrawals? Big Pharma WANTS you to be hooked on their drugs because obviously it means moola in their pockets. Don't believe the negative hype you hear about marijuana and if you have not tried cannabis oil I suggest you give it a try before you knock it. At least I don't need 20 fekking weeks to withdraw from cannabis oil like I am doing getting off of sucky Ativan
