    Marijuana is far less subject to abuse than most drugs used to treat the same conditions. It is also less addicting. Dr. Lester Grinspoon, an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, says that marijuana is safer than most drugs used to treat the same problems. Since there is no known case of lethal marijuana overdose, marijuana is safer than asprin. One thousand people a year die of asprin overdose. The side effects of asprin can also harm young children. The estimated ratio of lethal to effective dose is 40,000 to 1. Marijuana was ruled "one of the safest therapeutically active substances known," by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (D.E.A.) Chief Administrative Law Judge Francis Young. On a short-term basis, marijuana has few harmful side effects.
