Ray is correct, there are documented cases of people dying from smoking pot.Where did they get lost at? Were they high when they got lost? Or were you high and lost them when having a case of the munchies and were standing at a hot dog cart?Those drugs don't need to be legal, because they are highly addictive and have no medicinal value whatsoever.
Marijuana however? It is not physically addictive, can be used to treat many different illnesses, and currently, is being researched as a way to wean people off of heroin, because it helps with shakes, nausea, pain management and appetite enhancement, things that every heroin addict going through withdrawl needs. And, in the year that they've been trying it, they have about a 50 to 60 percent success rate of keeping people off of heroin. Dunno if you know much about drug addiction, but those kind of stats for helping heroin addicts are pretty much stellar. It keeps them off of methadone as well.
I've lost several friends due to pot. Yes, they were addicted as well, so I don't buy this nonsense that it's a non-additive drug when I've seen it first hand multiple times.
However, it is so rare because in order to die from pot you have to smoke enough to actually disrupt your involuntary motor functions enough to bring on death, and before you get to that point, you would 99.9% of the time nod out and fall asleep and stay that way until someone crinkled a potato chip bag or maybe the smell of nacho's drifted past your nose. And yes, it is being recognized now as addictive physically and mentally with extremely excessive use.
to die you somehow have to skip the nodding out part. That is one tough thing to do when you consider the trip from point A (not high) to point C (dead) is linier and point B (passed out and in danger of waking up with shit drawn on you in permanent ink) is between A and C.
