It might as well be said, for a product that is claimed to "cause ZERO deaths." (That quote can be found with a little Googling. I'll leave it to the reader as an exercise.) Do the "ZERO deaths" people leave out the heart attacks or fatal cardiac arrhythmias? And if you counter that well, nobody says to take pot for heart diseases, I can counter that people who may take pot for other reasons may have heart diseases, even silent ones. I.e. it is not a "ZERO risk" to life. And if you counter that even aspirin has analogous problems, I can counter that at least the warnings are there on the aspirin bottle. Where are the warnings in, say, High Times?

Do you have a source for any marijuana-induced heart attacks or fatal cardiac arrhythmias?

The amount of caffeine in just couple cups of coffee can cause life-threatening changes in some heart rhythms. Where are the warning labels on my Folgers? You won't find any warnings in Fresh Cup Magazine either. Check for yourself:

But hey, just to make you happy, how 'bout we make marijuana legal and put a big fat warning label on it that proclaims:
CAUTION: THIS PRODUCT MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH TO PEOPLE HAVING CERTAIN HEART CONDITIONS. CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE USING.
That way, I am happy and you are happy. What do you say? Does this work for you?

It might as well be said, for a product that is claimed to "cause ZERO deaths." (That quote can be found with a little Googling. I'll leave it to the reader as an exercise.) Google comes up with two instances of that phrase: "a battle with non-lethal weapons will cause zero deaths" and "plutonium dioxide will cause zero deaths". So where's the evidence that drug-freedom supporters say people with coronary artery narrowing should smoke pot?
