Hey OP I wish you nothing but happiness, whether you get a cure or not :-). My question is, what are your thoughts on the french movie "Les Intouchables"?

Absolutely, if legalized, there will have to be more laws regarding the use (restricted to one's home, no driving...). There's a company that's now producing a marijuana breathalizer, http://www.cannabixtechnologies.com/thc-breathalyzer.html

But I'm asking more about your opinion, do you believe the upsides of legalization would outweigh its potential risks?

Hi Dr. Schwarcz, it was a pleasure and a privilege to attend both WOC Drugs and Foods, I've learned tons of fascinating stuff about science!

My question would be regarding marijuana. It seems the political stigma around this drug is slowly shifting with all the good things that seem to have come from legalization in Colorado, (most importantly, money!).

Do you believe there is enough medical and scientific evidence to justify for marijuana to still be illegal solely based on its effects on health? Do you personally believe this drug should be legalized?

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

I'm only saying when the public is given false information by the media, of course combined with mistrust of science, it will inevitably lead to believing things that are simply not true

Although the media is probably more to blame than the public, nobody just sits in their living room inventing harmful effects of something just because it sounds 'unnatural'.
