marijuana is not good for you
Marijuana is bad for you
Marc Ander
Regarding the Sept. 4 Senate report recommending marijuana legalisation by comparing it to cigarettes and alcohol, our morgues are already full of victims of tobacco and alcohol. ...
Marijuana smokers scream until theyre blue in the face that its never killed anybody, while writing off as coincidence that regular marijuana smokers get lung cancer almost as often as their nicotine-addicted counterparts. Or that marijuana shows up in the blood of those who cause fatal traffic accidents almost as often as alcohol.
The over-all death rate is relatively low precisely because marijuana usage is relatively low, but that will change fast if we put marijuana into corner stores as the senators recommend. The worlds biggest tobacco companies have already trademarked brand names like "Acapulco Gold" so if any country ever legalises marijuana, they can move fast to get packs of 20 "Acapulco Golds" into the supermarkets next to the bananas, or to lace existing tobacco brands with subliminal levels of marijuana.
