San Francisco has more pot clubs then Burger Kings and McDonalnds combined!

"The fact that state law allows the use of medical marijuana and that we have a population with a high rate of AIDS that might need to use medical marijuana may contribute to the rates," says Alice Gleghorn, deputy director of community behavioral health services in San Francisco's Department of Public Health.

That's straight ridicules. You use medical Marijuana to help alleviate the symptoms of chronic pain, eating disorders and sleeping disorders, not AIDS.

So says Donald P. Tashkin MD

"Frequent marijuana use can cause airway injury, lung inflammation and impaired pulmonary defense against infection. The major potential pulmonary consequences of habitual marijuana use of particular relevance to patients with AIDS is superimposed pulmonary infection, which could be life threatening in the seriously immonocompromised patient."
