or you could have googled it for yourself.

There are indirect deaths from useage. Impaired driving for one.

In my opinion the most destructive drug in history, is alcohol with cigarettes being a close second. That being said, sure would be nice to have a cold beer about now.

Sugar is number one. Nobody needs sugar. It's purely for pleasure which makes it a drug.

But you believe all the people who say it is their salvation, fine.
No skookumchuck, it's not about that at all, it's about our freedom to choose what we do and do not do with our own bodies.

The government does not know me yet says I can drink and smoke. Smoke a cigarette full of known carcinogens but I can't have pot because they say.

I do not do well with drugs of any sort that includes Tylenol until recently. I do not like to put any type of med into my body because my body hyper responds. For a kidney stone which I had not passed I was given a mitt full of oxycodone and some other narcotic, it is legal and given via a script. I filled the script just in case but found I could cope fine with Tylenol once my body had adjusted to the pain level. I drink daily but only a glass. I smoked but quit.

At my age I know my body, I choose to take care of my body, no one needs to tell what I should and should not take or do. IF I need that type of intervention then the government is certainly not the one to do it.

I would legalize pot and every other drug. I would legalize prostitution. What I do to myself and when i choose to do it is no ones' business but mine. That's what being an adult is all about, making choices, living responsibly and living with the consequences. No one needs to control me and I trust that others have that same capability if they do not telling them no is useless as they will do it regardless.

for me it was tobacco, once I started there was no stopping me, I was defiant that I would not quit I would go out with a cigarette in my hand, blowing smoke out of my mouth.... yup I was psychologically dependent for years...then I quit...I still miss it...it is a wonderful, wonderful legal high and I loved every single cigarette that I smoked, and every puff that I took...

damn fine drug...too bad it is full of carcinogens...

Must be the pot talking.
You might be surprised at what it sounds like.

A couple of weeks from now that would have come to me. Best you helped me though because I would have misplaced the beginning by then.

Actually, I did. Smoke another one.

My mistake was I put Canada. I should have put North America. But other then that, my little pot hating friend,


from:

Facts on prescription drug deaths and the drug industry - Common Ground | Common Ground
Over-the-counter drugs also cause many deaths. Every year, more than 15,000 patients die in North America from ordinary aspirin and Ibuprofen. Tylenol is the cause of thousands of hospital admissions and hundreds of deaths annually in North America.

....my little pot hating friend.....

Dont be silly. I don't hate pot. I don't hate any drug. I believe it's your own body and you should be able to do with it whatever you want. Freebase cocaine for all I care. I actually like pot. It definitely makes this forum more entertaining
