I saw that page from another post here somewhere. It seems to still have some of the propaganda myths woven into it, despite it's small section of medical uses (for appetite, nausea, euphoria and relaxation) which are just the tip of the iceberg, while it goes on to list many negative side effects that "may" occur.... so really that source of info would just support his belief that it does more harm than good.
Thanks for the suggestion though... I've been trying to think of a good source that's simple and straight to the point for him to read since he's probably a busy man.

right on the money
"may" is the keyword here, 120% sure-science almost doesn't exist...
"may" can mean anything with more than 0.00% chance of taking place to having 100.00% for taking place... maybe the detailed and actual research can tell u how strong or weak is this "may" but public hears "may" and assumes: it "may" well have the side effects
mind and body react differently to marijuana in different users, some get high and talk so much u wanna shove a towel in their mouths, some get high and zone out and can even see beauty in the detention/waiting room for jail!!!!
