“The National Institute on Drug Abuse released an eyebrow-raising statement to PolitiFact on Monday, denying that marijuana is less toxic than alcohol. ‘Claiming that marijuana is less toxic than alcohol cannot be substantiated since each possess their own unique set of risks and consequences for a given individual,’ wrote the institute. NIDA, part of the National Institutes of Health, funds government-backed scientific research and has a stated mission ‘to lead the nation in bringing the power of science to bear on drug abuse and addiction.'”
