Not a stretch at all. No one has ever died from using marijuana. It's impossible to fatally overdose and even non-toxic, except that smoking could possibly cause effect similarly to smoking tobacco (although there has never been a single documented case). Meanwhile, thousands die every year from abusing alcohol, a legal drug that is FAR more powerful, is much more damaging, and is all too easy to fatally overdose on.
I know you get all hot and bothered on the anti-weed platform, so you might want to get educated on this issue. The long and the short of it is that comparing a victimless crime like possession and/or consumption of a relatively harmless drug like marijuana to murder, the worst atrocity that one human can inflict on another, simply makes one look like (for lack of a better word) an idiot.

I don't believe that. I'm anti-drug but pro-legalization. IMO, weed is like human catnip. It's not actually harmful but it's not necessarily helpful either, and can potentially be harmful to those few who become addicted. For Nick to have some knowledge on the subject would be helpful though.

or their just idiots


what it boils down to is that if enough people commit murders in the US eventually they will legalize it..
1. No one dies from weed. Get a clue.

2. You're obviously no rocket scientist yourself, and you might want to think about that before you go calling people idiots.

Show me one person in the history of mankind that has died from smoking cannabis.

One.

That's all I ask for.

If you can find one, and I'm sure you can.. I'm sure there's someone somewhere that was deathly allergic to it.. or perhaps they were brainless and decided to smoke dispite having asthma or something.. then show me two.

😛
 
The money we would save be legaliziting Marijuana, all the law enforcement officers, the taxes we could horde in, the legal battles that are usually shrugged off after much wasted time and effort...

In an ideal world at least.

I agree.

It's no different than any other drug. When you add a heap of chemicals to a bag of chemicals(human), there are going to be a few different reactions...

Cannabis is, by far, the most safe recreational drug in existance.

It has less side effects than most prescription drugs! What the hell is the problem?

I'll tell you what the problem is. Bullsh!t government propaganda and lies. That's probably why nick1985 believes that there are people that die from cannabis use.

I'm sorry, but where have you seen people saying that they'd like marijuana legalized because potheads would stop breaking the law?
