Been watching it live for about an hour...

Clearly the naysayers are simply spewing the same propaganda we've heard for generations... gateway drug, marijuana smoke is more harmful than cigarette smoke, addiction, etc.

Very glad an ER MD is present to testify in support of the bill and squash the political rhetoric... way to go Dr. Howard Swidler! The applause after he testified spoke volumes...
