So we know now that it safe and non-harmful to people who start smoking it as an adult.

Marijuana != drug.

Early use of any such thing is probably bad. Regular (recreational) use will probably impair cognitive development. But capitalising FACTS does not make these things FACT. Their source - being biased against - is also questionable.

We now know it hurts growing kids.

That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt adults too.

Re boom and booze: Which would you prefer to see in the pilot's hand as your Airbus A380 comes in to land - a glass of scotch or a reefer?
