How about some proof?

This article is full of insinuations that marijuana is detrimental to public health, yet it provides no citations or references to studies that purport to prove this fallacy. Of course, such studies are out there but they have no credibility in the broader scientific community because everyone with any common sense knows that these results are propaganda, bought and paid for by government funding. In fact, plenty of government funded studies have come to the opposite conclusion, that marijuana is not harmful in any significant way, and these studies are then buried and never see the light of day, nor publication. The Rodgers Report commissioned by the Nixon administration being one famous example.
And what to make of the repeated caricatures of the "pothead" that permeate this article? Why is this written from the perspective of snide cynic instead of treating the subject with the respect it deserves? This article does a disservice to not only the subject but to the truth as well. Pushing the assumption that pot is inherently bad is not going to impress the majority of us who know that it is not.
