I respectfully disagree completely with you, so don't take this personal, it's not an attack on you by any means. It's giving a difference of opinion, that's all!
In the history of the world NO ONE has OD'd and died on Marijuana! It is highly highly unlikely to OD on it – unless the person took in an enormous amount of in a very short time span, and still they wouldn't die from it.
The ONLY way someone has "OD'd" and died on pot is if they were on something else in which case weed would not be the core cause of the OD. Like I said before, have been doing weed, researching it, advocating for it for over 28 years, never ever have I read, seen or heard about someone dying from an OD on weed.
On lung cancer… if that is your worry, you don't have to smoke it! It comes in so many varieties of ways to ingest it. Eat it, swallow it in liquid form, I believe there is a pill, there are salves, lotions and so many more options!
If you believe in God, God created everything, the heavens and the Earth! Including the beautiful, lovely, medicinal Marijuana plant and also the said poisonous ones. Marijuana has so many uses beside medicine too! Rope, oil, paper, material, the list goes on and on and on!
Alcohol and other drugs are WAY worse than pot! You can OD on alcohol and drugs, become addicted, and become way more impaired than you'd ever be on Marijuana.
What other "things" Marijuana causes are you referring to? I'd be really interested to know.
To discourage others from using this alt method is a shame. So many people (including cancer patients, children, AIDs patients, and so many other people suffering, have found solace, peace and comfort when nothing else would work.
This is the reason, slowly but surely it is becoming legal!
With that said, I'm going to toke up!
