"alcohol takes lifes with pot no one dies!" KMK Drunk With Power!
Truest statement ever! its like with guns... guns dont kill people... people kill people...
If you said pot kills people, you'd have to say pencils misspell words...
Pot causes lower inhabitions, munchies, and kottin mouth...
Alcohol causes liver failure, stupidity, and sumtimes you getting jacked in the jaw...
Which sounds better to you? lol...

its never 0, theres always gonna be dummies that will find a way to kill themselves with the stupidest items, but the number is probably less than people killed by coconuts falling on their head (~150 registered deaths last year)


Lol, it actually is 0.
It's physically impossible to o/d on pot. Do a little research.

And yet people who support the legalization of marjiauna point to alcohols dangers. Alcohol is not dangerous whatsoever when drinken in moderation, any substantial use of marijuana (Regular use, I don't mean like 3 times a day, 3-4 times a week would be substantial, but also "in moderation") in the older developing years causes mental illness.

You're second part is so ignorant it's not even funny. Just because it's near impossible to overdose doesn't mean it hasn't caused deaths. Car crashes, murders, accidents, causing mental illness which leads to suicide. Overdose isn't the only way to be killed. Plus, you're so naive if you think most people who smoke pot just sit on their coach and eat. Lots commit crimes, go driving, do something stupid.

The "pot smokers are innocent man! We don't do nothing but just chill in our basements!" myth is a pretty lousy excuse.


Are you really that delusional? How many people drink alcohol, compared to people who smoke pot..
People don't go out on a Sat night to have 5 beers and head home. You think kids care about moderation at a party?
Alcohol is a much more severe danger to your health, and is abused a whole lot more.
"3-4 times a week would be substantial"? That's your opinion, not the actual definition of 'substantial' use.

Near impossible to overdose? Just because there is an actual number that you can o/d on, doesn't mean any human actually can.
Please, continue these ad hominems coated with generalizations and misconceptions.. That's essentially your entire argument.
Have another go

Who cares that more people drink alcohol than smoke marijuana? That's completely irrelevant.

Marijuana is abused just as much as alcohol is relative to the number of people who do it. The only reason you hear about alcohol is it is legal, and marijuana is not. Alcohol in moderation is beneficial, no one is saying it's safe in large quantiites, nor that everyone who drinks is responsbile. It's only the naive and clueless propreitors of marijuana who take such offense when someone says marijuana "isn't good" for you and can do harm. 3-4 joints a weak is substantial and is enough to significantly increase a persons chance of mental illness if they are still in their developing years (Under 22). Unlike alcohol, which's use is widespread across all age levels, the vast majority of active marijuana smokers are under 30 and the largest portion of that group are in post-secondary or highschool. The years where cannabis affects brain development, and unlike alcohol is doesn't take being an alcoholic to feel the effects.

Doesn't really matter though, because you won't have anything to say. You'll continue to spew the nonsense that marijuana is completely safe just because you can't overdose on it.

I touched on that a few comments ago.. moderation is key.
Any other dangers of marijuana?



The number of deaths by pot is 0, you know?
Have you ever been high? The most irresponsible thing any reasonable person would do is sit on the couch, watch a movie and eat junk food.
The TINY amount of unreasonable people that do irresponsible acts while under the influence would do it under alcohol too, yet that's legal?
Infact, irresponsible behavior under the influence of alcohol would be ALOT higher than marijuana.


"what about the trip to go get the pot or the trip to have it delivered?"
What about the accidents that happen with people going to church.. do we say it's because of religion?


"the thc intake of kids today (including U students) is greater than any doctor would prescribe if they were to prescribe marinol or dronabinol or any cannabinoid..."
Just curious.. what do you think is a dangerous level of thc intake?  :rofl:
Also, what is this about dangerous foreign matter ?  :rofl:


1) yes ive been high.. lots of times.. i used it as a social crutch.. hung out with the type of idiots who become conspiracy theorists and burnouts...
occasionally there was the yuppie trying to be a rasta squatter type.

2) how many times have you driven a vehicle high? how many times have you taken a trip to the store after getting high? how many decisions do you make while you are high? alcohol being legal doesnt justify the use of pot for recreational purposes especially whan it cant be regulated yet.

3) way to try and twist my words... i didnt use the term "dangerous"
the foreign matter in the pot that you smoke makes tar and ash when its burnt. prescribed marinol or dronabinol or any cannabinoids do not when taken and they do not induce psychoactive effects.

All treatable by other medication, medication that doesn't cause mental illness.
