i love the lame excuses people give when defending pot.
"alcohol is so much worse!" so?
"no one has ever died or overdosed!" even if that's true, so? there may be no deaths from an overdose, but how much do you want to bet there are plenty due to the actions of being under the influence?
i knew plenty of people in college who were brain dead idiots because they smoked too much pot. don't give me none of this nonsense that it doesn't affect people. you seriously can't be that naive.
and by the way, here are some random clips i'm finding, (google it, if you want sources)
Marijuana is now one of the leading causes of drug-related emergency room episodes. In a 1999 report of 664 drug-related deaths, 187 of them resulted from marijuana use alone.
In 1998, nearly 77,000 people admitted to emergency rooms admitted to using marijuana immediately prior to their injury or accident.
In 1995, 165,000 people entered drug treatment programs to kick their marijuana habit.
shocker!
