...You didn’t hear about it because you didn’t want to know...

I have been sober for 29 years. I don't use any drugs. I have not smoked tobacco for 50 years.

I know what I am talking about.

...Marijuana is already a known leading factor in thousands of accidental deaths and injuries...

MJ has been with us for thousands of years. It did not suddenly spring on the scene.

Most people who use MJ also drink alcohol -- usually at the same time. But if you are so convinced that MJ leads to so many accidental deaths, why don't you give us a link to a few references on that?
