Sounds to me like Serenity Lane has a large investment in stating that cannabis is a problem. Think about where their money comes from. Of course that's their opinion! To say otherwise would be bad for business.

Not yet convinced that this magic plant can actually enhance and improve human abilities? Here are just a few of the many highly motivated athletes whose drug of choice is cannabis/marijuana: * Usain Bolt, the 2008 World Record holder of the 100 and 200 meter sprint. * Michael Phelps, the most decorated swimmer ever with 14 Olympic gold medals. * Tim Linecum, the National League baseball’s Cy Young Award winner for 2009. * Santonio Holmes, the Super Bowl XLII’s MVP. * Mark Stepnoski, two-time Super Bowl champion. "I'd rather smoke than take painkillers." * Randy Moss, NFL single season touchdown reception record (23, set in 2007), and the NFL single-season touchdown reception record for a rookie (17, in 1998). Moss has founded, and financed many charitable endeavors including the the Links for Learning foundation, formed in 2008. * Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the NBA's all-time leader in points scored (38,387), games played, minutes played, field goals made, field goal attempts, blocked shots and defensive rebounds. During his career with the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers from 1969 to 1989, Abdul-Jabbar won six NBA championships and a record six regular season MVP Awards. He has a prescription to smoke marijuana in California, which he says he uses to control nausea and migraine headaches. He has been arrested twice for marijuana possession. Marijuana is used by the majority of top sportspeople everywhere: * "I just let him know that most of the players in the league use marijuana and I have and do partake in smoking weed in the offseason" - Josh Howard, forward for the Dallas Mavericks. Howard admitted to smoking marijuana on Michel Irvin’s ESPN show. * "You got guys out there playing high every night. You got 60% of your league on marijuana. What can you do?" - Charles Oakley (Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Toronto Raptors, Washington Wizards and Houston Rockets)
