DAILY CURRANT – Colorado is reconsidering its decision to legalize recreational pot following the deaths of dozens due to marijuana overdoses.

According to a report in the Rocky Mountain News, 37 people were killed across the state on January 1st, the first day the drug became legal for all adults to purchase. Several more are clinging onto life in local emergency rooms and are not expected to survive.

“It’s complete chaos here,” says Dr. Jack Shepard, chief of surgery at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Denver, “I’ve put five college students in body bags since breakfast and more are arriving every minute.

I’ve only seen a handful of people in the ER for MJ use ( without other drugs or alcohol). usually first timers who get paranoid, and rapid heart rate. Did get one idiot who came in after he tried to inject the MJ into a vein. On any given night we see a dozen or so with alcohol related problems.

"Pinkman was partying with friends when he suffered several seizures and a massive heart attack which ultimately proved to be fatal. Toxicology reports revealed that marijuana was the only drug present in his system."

Where is the cause and effect? People drop dead every day from heart attacks.

Bob Beckle actually warned about this last night. He said this new stuff is as powerful as hash.

Tell him to hook me up with his connection.

The Rocky Mountain News no longer exists. It’s a spoof so silly, the Onion apparently rejected it.

” even driving high is not that dangerous.”

A drunk will blow through a stop sign like it’s not there. A man high on pot will stop and wait for it to change.

It is not possible to "overdose" on marijuana.

It is possible to do some things or fail to do some things to maintain your structural and corporal integrity, but I don't know how any of that could be deemed to be an "overdose".

“Anyone below 30 should never ever smoke pot, at least.”

Amen, Brother. You’re absolutely right. That way those of us from the 60s will have a larger supply to feed our 60 y.o. addictions.
