This government report tries to use unbiased, neutral language to portray an apparent disdain for marijuana usage. They do this by incorrectly paraphrasing sources to make it seem like the studies found issue with smoking marijuana, when in fact many studies have not. The author of this page then ignores the sources and neglects to quote them when the findings are in favor of marijuana usage.
Even the references to "marijuana usage" is often replaced with "marijuana abuse," as if anything you use frequently is an abuse. Read this quote from the page.
