“Someone on THIS thread PLEASE tell me how many deaths marijuana (illegal) has caused... and how many deaths alcohol (legal) has caused??????????????????????????????????”

Someone needs to get off the couch and read medical literature. Don’t depend on others – because I’m personally sick of repeating the same old studies to people who have already made up their minds, irrespective of the evidence. Schizophrenia hurts families.

But in any case, I love the two wrongs make a right logic. Someone also needs to remember that this isn’t just about death but narcissistic potheads making life difficult for others. I’ve lived in Europe, and the soft on drugs culture is a disaster. It creates more welfare dependency and crowded hospitals.

This is an intelligent question why?

Of course alcohol has caused more deaths because it IS legal....and in what world does your imagination swim in thinking that when marijuana is legalized that the statistics won't eventually catch up or surpass?

Greetings freepersup:

Water is essential to life, yet without proper treatment, most water is unsafe for human consumption. So alcohol, unlike marijuana, is responsible for the advancement and survival of western civilization.

Until the 19th century, before bacteria was determined as a cause of diseases, water was unsafe to drink. So alcohol containing beverages, mostly in the form of beer, would render water safe for human consumption. BTW, through natural selection, no humans are allergic to beer.

Cheers,
OLA
