Re: New Study - Alcohol Kills More Than Marijuana

You know... I totally respect your opinions, but I have to disagree.

"it's literally impossible."... I have to call Shenanigans on that one.
Imagine a bus drive on his morning rush hour rounds. He stops for a break and burns some nice bud. He gets back on the road, and accidently runs over a pedestrian because his twisted brian is looking the other way at some bright shiny object. The pedestrian, having been plowed over by a speeding bus, dies on the scene.

MJ, like all the other intoxicants, impairs many body and brain functions. Don't get me wrong, it's got to be and incredibly small drop in a really big bucket compared to alcohol and other drugs, but to say that it never has and never will is unreasonable and, in my opinion, very wrong.

I see those words often.. and I've always felt that it was a crazy statement. How many drug deals involving MJ have gone wrong and ended up in gunplay? I can think of so many different scenarios that it just boggles the mind.

Direct deaths from MJ have not been seen, but studies into the drug are somewhat more than lacking due to our insane legal/political system. I should note that the article from the russian study does include all the side impacts from alcohol.

And, of course, in what world is it even close to sane that alcohol and tobacco (both of which I personally enjoy) are legal, and MJ isn't. Watch... next we're going to outlaw BB guns because they've taken and eye or two, but legalize fully automatic assault weapons or some such insanity.

Anyway.... my 2 cents.

Cheers!
