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.

Pinkman? Wasn’t that the dude’s name on the TV series Breaking Bad, that helped Walt cook meth? Co Inky Dink?
How high?
But my question is this...why add an alternative reality to the already troublesome one we have.
If we can't deal effectively with the one we already have (and it is a b!tch)...why add more trouble.
I would suggest that people master the present reality first...and then seek to spread their wings (as if that will ever happen).
We are dead, but just don't know it.
But we don't need drink blood or eat brains...we just need Oreos and/or Doritos (depending on one's sugar/salt demand).
CPU capacity down to 10%...carbohydrate requirement up to 300%.

I was fortunate enough to have some moderate success early on, and I assumed stupidly that would be enough to provide satisfaction for a lifetime.
It's insidious enough that you won't "hit bottom," when that might be for the best.
But then again, many who hit bottom from other vices don't recover.
In the last year, I feel truly reborn.
How! High are ya?
Doin’ fine, good bud!
Prey for many more, it’s much cheaper than prison!!
Neither the CDC nor any other authority keeping medical records and statistics has any record of a fatality due to direct toxicity from cannabis ingestion.

Study shows medical marijuana laws reduce traffic deaths
DENVER (Nov. 29, 2011) A groundbreaking new study shows that laws legalizing medical marijuana have resulted in a nearly nine percent drop in traffic deaths and a five percent reduction in beer sales.
"Our research suggests that the legalization of medical marijuana reduces traffic fatalities through reducing alcohol consumption by young adults," said Daniel Rees, professor of economics at the University of Colorado Denver who co-authored the study with D. Mark Anderson, assistant professor of economics at Montana State University.
The researchers collected data from a variety of sources including the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, and the Fatality Analysis Reporting System.
The study is the first to examine the relationship between the legalization of medical marijuana and traffic deaths.
you would think after people have been using it for hundreds of years at least one person would have overdosed by now. this could be the biggest coverup in human history!
Let them toke each other into oblivion.
We conservatives will inherit the Republic.
Are you kidding?!
I firmly believe that the majority of 2nd term Obama voters had to be smoking the stuff before they went to the polls.
If is the only possible explanation for Obamas reelection!
If marijuana was legalized the Dims could gain total domination of the government in perpetuity.
I can just see 47% of the voting populace on welfare permanently stoned going to the polls saying Democrats are cool dude pass the nachos.
“Doesn’t make sense.”
Nothing makes any sense today!
We'll see about that. We legalized pot here in CO in 2012 and since that
election we have successfully recalled three wack job lib gun grabbers.
Well even dopers love their guns ;)
Guns will get you through times of no dope better than dope will get you through times of no guns?
“As a matter of fact, most pot smokers would tell you they are more aware while driving. “
So do drunks.
