In my experience, marijuana is like many things in life. Powerful at introducing one to an alternative reality.

But my question is this...why add an alternative reality to the already troublesome one we have.

If we can't deal effectively with the one we already have (and it is a b!tch)...why add more trouble.

I would suggest that people master the present reality first...and then seek to spread their wings (as if that will ever happen).

The point is that a marijuana overdose isn't death...it is inertia (which is a kind of living death).

We are dead, but just don't know it.

But we don't need drink blood or eat brains...we just need Oreos and/or Doritos (depending on one's sugar/salt demand).

CPU capacity down to 10%...carbohydrate requirement up to 300%.

Yes, it makes the status quo tolerable, even pleasant. But life demands constant growth.

I was fortunate enough to have some moderate success early on, and I assumed stupidly that would be enough to provide satisfaction for a lifetime.

It's insidious enough that you won't "hit bottom," when that might be for the best.

But then again, many who hit bottom from other vices don't recover.

In the last year, I feel truly reborn.

marijuana supporters claim that there has never been a single overdose from smoking it

Neither the CDC nor any other authority keeping medical records and statistics has any record of a fatality due to direct toxicity from cannabis ingestion.

Stoned morons never get behind the wheel of a car and kill others? They do and it will happen far more frequently with more losers inhaling.

Study shows medical marijuana laws reduce traffic deaths

DENVER (Nov. 29, 2011) – A groundbreaking new study shows that laws legalizing medical marijuana have resulted in a nearly nine percent drop in traffic deaths and a five percent reduction in beer sales.

"Our research suggests that the legalization of medical marijuana reduces traffic fatalities through reducing alcohol consumption by young adults," said Daniel Rees, professor of economics at the University of Colorado Denver who co-authored the study with D. Mark Anderson, assistant professor of economics at Montana State University.

The researchers collected data from a variety of sources including the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, and the Fatality Analysis Reporting System.

The study is the first to examine the relationship between the legalization of medical marijuana and traffic deaths.

Liberals and lefties are self destructing.

Let them toke each other into oblivion.

We conservatives will inherit the Republic.

Are you kidding?!

I firmly believe that the majority of 2nd term Obama voters had to be smoking the stuff before they went to the polls.

If is the only possible explanation for Obama’s reelection!

If marijuana was legalized the Dims could gain total domination of the government in perpetuity.

I can just see 47% of the voting populace on welfare permanently stoned going to the polls saying “Democrats are cool dude pass the nachos”.
