DAILY CURRANT – Colorado is reconsidering its decision to legalize recreational pot following the deaths of dozens due to marijuana overdoses.

According to a report in the Rocky Mountain News, 37 people were killed across the state on January 1st, the first day the drug became legal for all adults to purchase. Several more are clinging onto life in local emergency rooms and are not expected to survive.

“It’s complete chaos here,” says Dr. Jack Shepard, chief of surgery at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Denver, “I’ve put five college students in body bags since breakfast and more are arriving every minute.

I’ve never heard of this. First, is it possible? Second, is it common?

Here's an interesting comment:

"Cannabis is non-toxic and symbiotic with our biology. We have cannabinoid receptors. Which means for the sheeple that don’t except the truth and believe what they’re told! That our bodies recept cannabinoids. There’s THC in breast milk even if the mother has never been in the same room as cannabis. It promotes healthy eating in new borns."

The movie “Reefer Madness” just didn’t go far enough in its warnings. :=)

Marijuana of course does not kill, and even driving high is not that dangerous.

It is though, very habit forming and destructive to many, many people. Anyone below 30 should never ever smoke pot, at least.

LOL! No kidding? I guess that went completely over my head. :)

“When was the last time you heard of someone overdosing on beer?”

Really. I usually stop after 6-9 beers every day. When you are 60 years old and weigh 125 pounds, the thrill is gone. When you do things in excess, pacing is important.

Well, that first day I’m sure a lot of “brain cells” bit the dust.

This is hugh and series. There can only be one thing to do as a result of this disaster.

Legalize Marijuana for all Beltway Politicians.

The only way people in Colorado die from smoking pot is if they fall asleep in the snow and freeze to death.

[amnestynone]

It quotes the Rocky Mountain News which has been out of business for seveal years. Obviously this is sastire.

[mware]

Bob Beckle actually warned about this last night.

He said this new stuff is as powerful as hash.

"We told everyone this would happen,” says Peter Swindon, President and CEO of local brewer MolsonCoors, “Marijuana is a deadly hardcore drug that causes addiction and destroys lives".

Liberals and lefties are self destructing.

Let them toke each other into oblivion.

We conservatives will inherit the Republic.
