Accuracy Alert!

The sources referenced do partially confirm that Ronald Reagan made the claim in 1980 that marijuana is probably the most dangerous drug in the United States, with potential for permanent ill effects.

Many of the sources do not focus on marijuana or do not give factual information about its effects. Therefore, while we can confirm that the quote is accurate, the purported 'conclusion' by 'leading medical researchers' implied in the claim is not supported by the sources provided. Further research would be required to verify that conclusion.
