Quest For The Truth: Death By Cannabis

very nice article! informative. leave the weed and its users alone!!

Pot doesn't kill...certain governments that catch you with it kill.

Alcohol kill more people in America than any other drug.

Mr. Green Thumb that weed is bad !

I'm in favor of legalization. However, I have heard that it might be in the consumer's best interest to keep illegal because of price. So I guess I'm torn. I don't know about you, but I'm not willing to pay $80 for a $20 sack, you know?

Another thing I want to add is how I think It's really sad to see how people either demonize it or abuse it. Should people really go to jail for it? Should people really use it every day?--with an exception to those in co-morbid condition. I say use it as a tool, not a tactic to escape life's turmoil.

Gateway drug eh? What about Ritalin? That's the real gateway drug.

The continued prohibition of cannabis for responsible adult use or for medical reasons is one of the most non-sensical laws in our society today. It is just utter stupidity to believe the crap that the government continues to feed us about cannabis being addictive or being a "gateway" drug that is going to destroy our youth. What is truly destroying our youth are laws that put many promising young people in prison for partaking in a relatively harmless plant. What also is destroying our youth is the abuse of easy to obtain pharmaceutical products that are perfectly legal and that their parents seek to have them prescribed. Personally I prefer to favor naturally occurring substances over that which was created in a lab.

its a plant

Thanks everyone for reading and responding to my blog. I think that this is an important world issue why we continue to arrest, jail, and even execute Marijuana users and dealers. If Marijuana was legal, would there even be a criminal element to the "drug"?

its population control yo, its because its medicinal that its illegal, they dont want to see people to get better, they want thousands of people to die from one substance, introduce another, have more people die, and so on.and do u think that they will ever consider legalizing it? no.they have to be complicated and unjust. u kno that it takes up more then half of our court systems, with alcohol following close behind. and all they want is the godsd**** money. and all this plays into saving the planet and building jobs or make food. it helps. u figure they spend millions of thousands of dollars on global warming and nothing has changed? quit smoking ads for teenages yet its a higher kliller then aids in teens? and dont get me started on the "weed is bad" ads. who in the right dang mind, even when stoned, would leave a young kid by the pool along. or forget to pick somebody up from skool. youv heard of parents forgeting kids in cars. but i think there was somthing more to that. if ur a parent, u notice when ur kids is not naggin right next to u. somthing has to be done to get ppl to notice the benifiets of weed. and the only way to get the gov'nt in on it is to lock them all in one room with alot of weed and a hooka and u dont let them out till its. gone. itll never happen but its a good idea

The greedy elite that run this world do not want people growing their own medicine and developing a bond with nature.

Yeah, wrong post idiot.

Idiots rule.

FUCK THE GOVERNMENT!!

we should be able to buy sell or posses anything we want at any time under any circumstance , what type of super humans are they to tells us what we can and can not do?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

More people are killed fighting while trying to grow the plant than those who die from using it. Legalization would stop fighting in countries such as Colombia and Bolivia.

No one has ever died from cannabis use. Even with the most potent herb, you would have to smoke hundreds of pounds of it in a single sitting to die... scientific studies have verified that the toxicity of cannabis for humans is practically zero.

In their studies with rats, using highly concentrated extracts of cannabis, the dosage that it took to kill the rats was so incredibly high that to equate it to a human would mean approximately a dump-truck full (about 1 ton) of regular strength buds all consumed within a short period of time....

Compare that to alcohol where a single bottle of liquor can kill or or do considerable damage if consumed in a single session.

I think it's stupid, after all of these centuries of people growing, selling, buying and imbibing in the so called drug(remember this is an all natural product) and they still haven't been able to stop it...catch a clue! I think half of these countries are following the US lead in not legalizing...why is it we can legalize, alcohol which causes millions of accidents and deaths throughout the world, as well as cigarettes, but, marijuana, they don't? It has been proven to help medically, other resources are obtained from the hemp plant, as well-clothing, for one. Hell, they were more than likely smoking/toking in biblical times. All you religious zealots, if it were so bad, don't think God wouldhave allowed it into existence. Think about it ;)
