Intoxicating substances are legal but non Intoxicating are illegal. What's next coffee going to be illegal?

tobacco causes cancer risks to (greatly) increase.
BCD, the stuff that prevents cancer, should be legal.
THC should be treated as a 'fun drugs' substance. you know, much like alcohol. tests administred by highway patrol and such.
 
Democrats have no place in this world. They are bad. They never stop.

You ever here the phrase, " give them an inch, they take a mile." That phrase was first said by a conservative about his neighbor the democrat who kept moving the fence line further onto the conservatives property.

Democrats will never stop, the next Democrat president will do something worst.

Democrats must be eliminated
 
The psychological crutch THC creates is devastating to a person to where a simple weekly trip to the grocery store is a major trip and a tic tok video of fighting and assault is one result.

This is literally where "karens" come from.
Sure, wine moms yell, but are generally too drunk to do much else.

But lifetime smokers?
A trip to the grocery is uneventful.....they got other things to do like buy new tubing for their O² concentrator. So they aren't fighting anyone.

So....
What's next for banning? Bacon? Soda? Cheeseburger? Nasalspray? Heavy cream and butter?

I'm just at a loss here. I really don't get it.

How many die from Marijuana use?
While there have been no recorded deaths from marijuana alone, it can be fatal in certain circumstances. Cannabis can cause adverse effects when someone consumes too much, or when it's combined with other factors.

Factors that can increase the risk of death
  • Traumatic injury: Cannabis can be fatal if it's combined with a traumatic physical injury.

  • Cardiac conditions: Cannabis can be fatal for people with cardiac conditions, such as hypertensive heart disease.

  • Tolerance: Frequent marijuana use can lead to tolerance, which means higher dosages are needed to achieve the desired effects. This increases the risk of overdose.

Other effects of marijuana

  • Vasospasm and arrhythmia
    Cannabis can trigger vasospasm and arrhythmia, which can lead to chest pain, stroke, or cardiac arrest.
  • Acute myocardial infarction (AMI)
    Cannabis can trigger AMI, which is confirmed by a rise in creatine kinase and/or troponins.

Study findings
  • A study from Florida Atlantic University found that nearly 99% of deaths from cannabis use between 2014 and 2020 were caused by accidents.

  • Another study found that most deaths from cannabis use were associated with chest pain, arrhythmias, or thrombus in a coronary artery.
