If pot becomes legal, California's health will suffer, Stanford expert says

You may support Californiaâ??s Proposition 19, the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010, because you think the war on drugs unfairly targets minorities. You may be in favor of it because you think it's up to you, not the government, to decide what substances you'd like to consume as long as you don't harm others. Or you may be sympathetic to the ballot measure based on the testimonials of patients with cancer or AIDS who swear that medical marijuana helps them cope with their illness.
