Where do all of these misconceptions about marijuana come from?

Question by donthatemecauseyouaintme: Where do all of these misconceptions about marijuana come from?
Marijuana is not smoked just by the dregs of society. It can be a useful tool for people to unwind and destress at the end of the day, much the same way drinking a beer or taking a run can be. Yes it may not be a healthy as say running, but if you want to ban unhealthy things, lets start with fast food, which kills more people a year than pot. Also, there are plenty of people, including your boss probably who smoke. People should have a right to choose how they unwind from stress. Also marijuana is not addictive and nobody has ever died from using strictly pot. Sure there are books and movies that would argue the contrary but look whose making them. Pharmaceutical companies whose drugs that cost much more but have the same effects. The government who is deeper in the pocket of pharmaceutical companies than Mt. Everest is tall. And last but not least, the radical right wing christian fundamentalist who want to tell us all how to live our lives.
That’s not to say anything of its medical uses, which to say the least can help people in extreme and chronic pain.
