By lead poisoning. Small led pellets injected at high speed in the back of the skull, when the skull is owned by someone who didn't pay the organization as much as the organization thought it had coming. Or when the skull is a Mexican policeman or a Columbian prosecutor.

. . .who didn't pay the organization as much as the organization thought it had coming.

What "organization" is that?

They guy was growing his own. No "Mexican policeman" or a "Columbian prosecutor" involved. No gangs either.

So that argument is bogus - actually its dishonest. But you know that...

I'm strongly anti mind altering drugs. Just like I'm strongly against getting drunk on alcohol. Freedom means being able to make bad choices as well. As long as the one making the choices keeps the consequences to themselves that's their business.

You do know that this happens because marijuana is illegal, don't you? Or has Anheuser-Busch been cracking skulls, too?

He's not trying to relieve his own pain.

Apparently you didn't read the article, so let's try again.

Tuck, an Army vet, uses marijuana to help treat chronic pain associated with injuries he received in a parachuting accident back in the 1980s (reportedly his parachute failed to open during a jump).

You didn't vote to help sick people; you voted (whether you knew it or not) to make drug thugs rich and teenagers into burnouts.

The evidence shows that medical marijuana statutes do not lead to an increase in use among teenagers.

Also, "drug thugs" do not get rich off of legal marijuana. They lose their market when drugs are legalized. Seen any shootouts between Jack Daniels and Jim Beam lately?
