First of all let me try to explain this so everyone here gets it. If there was EVER (and by ever I mean that there has never been a death caused by marijuana alone) a case of someone dying from marijuana, it would most likely be related to Lung Disease. Which would be caused by the SMOKE from the carcinogenics of BURNING the Marijuana plant itself. If said user constantly SMOKED. There are many different ways to consume THC, which is the chemical in the marijuana plant that gets you "high".
Nathan Wellard you can rest assured that is marijuana actually did kill someone, reguardless of the reason, that it would be tromped about by the government for years as justification for the laws. Go read up some stats.
Yeah... just from freak accidents... do you know the number of trouser related deaths in England alone? It's in the thousands per year! Go read up some stats!
I don't think you read what I said properly, the very first thing I said was 'weed is safe' and I never said anyone has died from weed at any point... read something before responding to it. idiot.
Whilst Marijuana is safe, these stats are REALLY skewed, consider the billions of people in the world who eat peanuts, you're bound to get a few deaths (similar to broken arms from pulling Christmas crackers). If as many people took weed as took peanuts, you'd have some deaths, and I'm sure.
'dude... dude... you head's on fire...'
'.... cool... '
is more likely to happen from weed than peanuts! :-P
Will Inglis I would've expected him to have mentioned in his Ganja-related death argument the fact that drug trafficking is more dangerous than the drug itself... but only because it's illegal.
Way to be a retard brandon, its too easy to get weed to even need to buy from a 'gangster'. Why would anyone care what gangsters do unless you're buying a harder drug. Also if you knew anything about weed you would know it does not even kill brain cells or harm your brain in any way. way to be ignorant fuckhead.
its still illegal, get over it.
MAEY jane may not kill but this info does not include gonja related deaths, due to you toked to much and now you fucked cause you did somthing stupid. AND peanuts yes ppl are allergic to them but they dont fuck your brain raw.
Now how many brain cells does it kill? How many stupid things do you do that you'll regret?
Anyway, I support the legalization of marijuana ONLY because we'll stop funding the Mexican drug cartels and maybe we can help put an end to the war down there that kills thousands of innocent people a year.
Hey Adam, you shouldn't have smoken too much when you first tried it. That way you wouldn't have done stupid things that you now regret. I don't think you noticed, but all you typed was: stupid kids smoke too much and act stupid when they do. The thing is they also act stupid when they don't. And killing braincells? Please, braincells are constantly dying. Also do you even know what THC is? Search it up on google and relate it with braincells, see what pops up. I'll leave a hint: Growth. Try and relate marijuana to cancer, artistic inspiration, etc etc. You weed haters are like religious people, you make no fucking sense. Hate boose, that certainly kills a lot more people. A lil' green doesn't hurt anybody <3 Right on ^^
David Brazeal You do realize that Cigarettes are worse for your health right? The worst thing that can happen to you you with weed is that you get mentally addicted, aka you like the state that your mind is in and you want to keep it that way. It has been found that Cigarettes attack your dopamine receptors and basically kill them off and no new ones are made in it's place. Therefore, unfortunately you will forever be addicted to them and your brain is worse than when you started. Not to mention the physical addiction you have to it...
Chad Barber if someone its drunk, grab his car and hit a tree at 90 mph
DOESNT GET KILL BY ALCOHOL, THAT PERSON GET KILL FOR HIS OWN STUPIDITY.
SO, THEN.. if someone its high as fuck, and his head eventually set on fire, and do notihng (like you say) its gonna get kill by his own stupidity like the drunk one..
SO, MARIHUANA ITS SAFE, it is good and must be LEGAL,
it alters the mind that not ever, or will never kill someone. Also your drinking habits are killing your brain cells, which weed also helps inhibit while being cross faded. You should quit drinking and smoke weed instead.
Regardless, Marijuana in the eyes of Mother Nature is the natural medicine of all things. It can help with depression, insomnia, pain, hunger, epilepsy, tourettes, etc. You name it, it can help. Instead of bashing it, we need to utilize its full potential. I would rather roll up, than ever take another pill of any variation again.
I don't know if I believe this, I'm sure that there's going to be more aspirin deaths than marijauna buuut there's gotta be at least ONE person that died from an allergic reaction or something.
you can rest assured that is marijuana actually did kill someone, reguardless of the reason, that it would be tromped about by the government for years as justification for the laws.
Russel Aran the government Its full of shit and you still believe it?. marihuana was outlawed to control mexican border, and mexicans themself what always smoke weed. but the shit starts when u.s. start to smoke weed too! because its so fucking relaxing and good for so many reasons.. The gov doesnt like it so start to fill the head of the people with shit, and even today there are still people who believe it. haha poor idiots.
Barely legible and STILL makes more sense than any druggie response in favor of why weed is "safe" and "natural". Poison Ivy is natural too...go ahead and smoke it. Yummm...isnt that good?
David Brazeal Never smoked it but it's safer than alcohol, as long as you take it after twenty-one when the risk of it triggering early-onset psychosis is minimal. Considering all of the ill-effects tobacco and drink can have and the fact that they are considered safe, I think it's fair to say that it's classification as an illegal drug is unjustified.
Brandon Phillips you dear brainwashbitch If you dont like it dont smoke it. you know the truly reason to be weed illegal? and dont came with that shit of braindamage or anything cause cigarretes are way more harmfull and addictive..
I agree entirely, marijuana is not dangerous, the stuff people cut into it is. My point was, when people are under influence, it increases the danger, saying Marijuana is less dangerous than peanuts means nothing, just cause there's bound to be someone killing themselves from doing something stupid with a peanut when billions in the world eat them, it's natural selection. Marijuana is almost definitely in itself not dangerous, still does alter the mind (temporarily) which in itself is something I personally am not fond of (i always make a tit of myself drunk) :-p
Dude, I'm sure half the deaths that occur from people doing stupid shit is while they are high, so this is kinda b.s.... like motor vehicle accidents for example, how many of those people were driving high? exactly, a lot! it's a fun thing to do! I kid you not folks!
Russel Aran this whole pole is vague. It'd be a lot easier to find proof that at least one person has died than absolutely no one has died. In my opinion you are trying to push some knowledge about arguing that you also do not bring to the table. How about you find a credible source to support your claims. It would make more sense for you to prove your statement since you havn't actually provided any real grounds for your claim.
Kyle Fox Thornton I would love to see any information backing that up. Don't post until you find some. Also please be less vague, it will strengthen your point.
^ WRONG. Smear campaigns that were used to stop hemp from becoming a reliable paper source in replace of actual trees. Nothing about Mexicans were ever in relation to the United States Ban on Hemp/Hashish.
this is kinda bs though the alcohol deaths probably include driving under the influence... nobody in the united states crashed and died wile they were high last year..
Until you have 1 Verified case of Death from Marijuana, Shut up about it.
Weed has been around for 10,000 years and NO ONE HAS DIED.
My Proof is that you cant find 1 Verified case.
I crashed my car while smoking weed so whoever makes up these bullshit numbers of how marijuana doesn't kill... it does... I coulda died this is bullshit.
That many people don't actually die from Tobacco. That number is often cited but was derived from an epidemiological study for one year in California. It counted all heart attack deaths as "attributed to smoking".
Youre both right. It was a complex amalgamation of racism (against black people and mexicans), powerful business interests (such as dupont), and political ambition (Harry Anslinger).
Leopoldo Celso Costa You mean they're not literally fighting and incarcerating the drugs, but the people who sell them? No fucking shit, wow... I had no idea. Oh, and fuck that bullshit, there's a war, not just on people who sell, but people who use, or just possess. Land of the Free™ and I'm not allowed to even own a certain kind of plant because the government says it's a bad plant. Fuck that.

The issue is if you legalize Mary-J, you have to legalize all drugs eventually. And if all drugs are legal, we'll have a pandemic of drug addicts, is the fear. I mean, I would prolly try plenty of drugs if they weren't illegal. And be that the case, we'd have a fuckton of heroin addicts. Lol. Or at least, that's how the explain it. But the government just answers to the general public. They are afraid of the hardcore anti-drug peoples getting pissy.

Leopoldo Celso Costa Um.. ok? What do I care if you care if my dad was a cop? I was just trying to offer a viewpoint from someone who actually had to deal with the bullshit war on drugs, but whatever. Let's toke.
