US President Barack Obama has said smoking marijuana is no more dangerous than alcohol, but still called it a "bad idea".
Speaking to The New Yorker magazine, he said it was wrong to think legalising the drug would be "a panacea" that could solve many social problems.
Mr Obama was referring to recent legalisation of marijuana in the states of Colorado and Washington.
He has previously admitted using the drug when he was young.
