Pot does cause death.

2 deaths

That's a simply quick search.

That's ignoring traffic deaths in Colorado.

Are you prepared to dimis every death were Pot is involved for the sake of holding up that it's safe?

You are doing exactly what is being stated. You are making it seem safe.

harvesting something, drying it out, rolling it up, setting it on fire and breathing it into your lungs isn't bad for babies? holy fricking shite.



I'm as anti-prohibition as they come, but I agree with this.

The whole "THEY SAID IT WAS SAFE!!" claim is stupid.

Are you as a medical doctor seriously trying to say alcohol is physically safer than marijuana?


It's moving in that direction. YES!

Why are you continuing to ignore the links then. You simply want to bury your head. Why and what cost to the people?

I am losing respect for you with each post.

Look, I get that folks like to get high.

But holding up legalization and the impending result of half the population being stoned all day long does not compute as some sort of high-minded (pun intended) panacea of productive byproducts...


exactly, and all these fools crying about the problems won't say a word about reinstating prohibition of alcohol when a woman drank during her pregnancy or they see hobos hanging outside a liquor store. They still want their 6-pack, wine, or cocktail when they get home

I'll make it easy.

"Moderate use" doesn't mean "frequent use."


Start there.

Yes you are, I can't be convinced that weed is perfectly safe.Nothing could convince me.

I am not totally against legalization,but I think that first,there needs to be a very extensive campaign to educate the public about the harmful effects.
That is something that was never done with alcohol,or tobacco,until they were already accepted vices.Like trying to put the Genie back in the bottle.

Smoking weed while pregnant is absolutely degenerate. Women are supposed to refrain from almost any negative or risky behavior while pregnant. They should be eating properly and working out to ensure a healthy baby.

I simply cannot fathom the level of callousness that would be required in order to have so little concern for your baby. This article makes me angry.

Yes I did. Do want others? Like maybe the study showing the massive increase in traffic deaths?

Anyone have a cross reference on the number of mother who smoke cigs/ vape nicotine and drink?

Also, the ones who eat fast food or mercury fish or ....?

So kids born with health complications are free to the system?

Are you saying kids with learning disabilities have no educational cost associated with them?

Because the pot industry sold it as a cure for morning sickness. I have listed links in this thread.
