Marijuana not as bad as we think

Over the years there has been much research into Marijuana and how it can be used as a medicine etc, but in recent studies being carried out by the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, they have been looking into the actual effects of the drug on teenagers.

The first thing to come out in the study is eye opening; they claim that using the drug may not have the scary symptoms that have been put around for years. It turns out that students who have used Marijuana and who have smoked cigarettes tend to be more active in sports, get better grades and are inclined not to use the more illegal drugs.

It appears that when it comes to this sort of research we have to take the actual country into consideration too, as in Switzerland their laws art much more easier than in the UK, so therefore their whole outlook is going to be different to start off with. But these results do make you think about what is right.
