Way to change the subject. I believe that is called a red herring.
If you noticed, I offered no opinion one way or another about legalizing or not legalizing. I simply corrected your false statement; people do die every day while under the influence of that commonly-occurring weed, period.
People die every day while under the influence of that commonly-occurring weed - they wreck their cars, fall off stuff, make bad decisions around machinery, etc.
Ditto for alcohol - should government ban it?

It was the subject of the text you replied to: "The government banned ...".

Not my statement.

Nobody ever died from the proximate cause of using marijuana - but many have died from the proximate cause of using alcohol.

No, you moved the goalposts. Marijuana itself kills nobody. What people do when they're impaired is another subject. Thus, when I bring up something else that impairs people, I didn't change the subject, you did.
Returning to the original topic, the injuries caused by this toy require somebody to do something irresponsible and contrary to copious warnings. Because of this stupidity, someone is trying to regulate the original product. It's the same thing for other things that can be used irresponsibly. Where do we draw the line?
People die every day under the “influence” of:
Xanax
Tobacco
Caffeine
Valium
Penicillin
Sugar
Ad infinitum
Are those things the proximate causes of their deaths or was plain old fashioned stupid?
