People may not have died from an overdose of pot, but a whole bunch have died from criminals that used pot mixed with other stuff before they committed the crime.

Pot is a mixing drug where lots of other stuff gets used by the idiots who often get into using it.
Probably why it had the gateway drug connection IMO.

Pretty much all of the violent criminals are great big pot users. They were mixers of it when they either killed or harmed others.

Bottom line is to never start to take the crap and avoid all the drama and destruction surrounding recreational drugs.
It’s a waste of good lives.

Because it's illegal and the same people who sell pot often sell other drugs. If you're already breaking the law it's easy to go the next step especially if you're young and dumb. Also, when you find out how benign pot is you begin to doubt the stated dangers of other drugs.

You make a good case for legalization and standardization. Thanks.

You don’t have one iota of understanding about what the hell you’re talking about.

Naw the people on pot are not violent. It’s the people on alcohol that get violent and start fights for no apparent reason. Have you went to a party or visited a bar lately? The ones starting bar brawls and fights and the people that are wasted on alcohol. They commit extreme violence and their victims have serious injuries. Alcoholics are notorious for causing extreme violence to family members and domestic violence murders. The pot smokers are the ones chillin relaxed and laughing in the corner at everyone else. Pot makes people less violent in almost every case I’ve ever seen. Even men who are violent in their natural state become mellowed out and less violent from weed. People should encourage more pot smoking and less alcohol. society has the whole thing backwards.
