There is also a problem with vaping causing lung diseases, which have led to death in several cases across the country. There seems to be an association with vaping marijuana extracts.
Marijuana legalization advocates love to claim that marijuana does not kill or have adverse effects, and that it is far safer than alcohol. The LD50 of THC is far lower than that of alcohol, meaning that it takes only a few milliers of THC to kill, versus at least a liter of alcohol.
Before the big push to legalize, there was almost no research on marijuana because few researchers cared to go through the hassle of procuring a DEA license for a substance that is not legal and has no medical use. Thus, we knew very little about its deleterious effects. Now, we are experimenting with human populations, even children, through legalization. This is not the best way to learn about the bad effects of marijuana, and is likely to leave issues that will be problems for decades—like marijuana babies.
LD 50 of THC. You can have all kinds of reasons for opposing the use of THC but I wouldn’t continue to cite that as one of them. As far as the LD 50 THC is probably the safest drug ever discovered.
I try to stay out of "Reefer Madness" threads but you need to source that statement. I have no clue what a millier is.
That is a recent development with the legalization of pot. When the E cigs came out a few years ago there was no such problem and in fact a means to wean smokers off cigarettes and ultimately smoking all together.
Marijuana turns people into insufferable bores. They drone oon and on about the wonders of their addiction and why you too should become a narced-out stoner.
