It has never been proven that marijuana has killed anyone, although smoking herbs can cause cancer. So if you like marijuana or use it for medical reasons, it is a good idea to consume marijuana in a healthy way. Therefore cooking with marijuana or using a vaporizer makes sense.
The following are the annual causes of death in the USA:
| Tobacco | 435,000 |
| Poor Diet and Physical Inactivity | 365,000 |
| Alcohol | 85,000 |
| Microbial Agents | 75,000 |
| Toxic Agents | 55,000 |
| Motor Vehicle Crashes | 26,347 |
| Adverse Reactions to Prescription Drugs | 32,000 |
| Suicide | 30,622 |
| Incidents Involving Firearms | 29,000 |
| Homicide | 20,308 |
| Sexual Behaviors | 20,000 |
| All Illicit Drug Use, Direct and Indirect | 17,000 |
| Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Such As Aspirin | 7,600 |
| Marijuana | 0 |
But marijuana still has a bad reputation with many people and alcohol is accepted in most societies. This may be due to the fact that most people refer to marijuana as a drug and alchol not as a drug.
The following is a true story, which demonstrates marijuana has a bad reputation:
Recently I was at a party in London and asked the host whether it was ok if I smoked a joint, she was happy for me to do so. After have a couple of drags I offered a girl a smoke of the spliff, she said marijuana was evil and therefore she did not want a toke.
It does not bother me if people choose not to smoke marijuana, but I was curious as to why she was so anti marijuana, so I asked her why she hated cannabis.
I was then surprised when she then told me that a friend of hers who used to smoke quite a bit of pot had died from smoking marijuana.
She explained that her female friend had died from a brain haemorrhage. She believed that THC had built up so much that a clot formed in her brain which subsdequently killed her. Unfortunately peope die from brain haemorrhages but it has nothing to do with smoking marijuana.
I explained to her that I owned MedicalMarijuanaBlog.com and that it has never been proven that anyone has died as a direct result of using marijuana. She was no prepared to have a debate, so I let it go as I did not want to upset her.
Why do you think marijuana has such a bad reputation?
Marijauna……. do you really think that its the problem with our society?!?!!! I am an 18 year old senior in high school, and almost everyone I know likes to smoke a little bud once in a while. There’s nothing wrong with it. I have a 3.8 gpa, and even got accepted early addmission into a state school. I probably smoke at least an ounce a week.
I have a clean record, a well-paying part-time job (as i am still in high school)…. Neither me or any of my friends go to parties and get “totally wasted, dude!”…. (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I just really want people to open their minds and realize that MOST people who smoke weed are not going to fit into the stereotype of a “pothead”.
actually 23 people died from marijuana between 1979-1998 sure it only adds up to 1 per year and like 0.00052% but to say no one has ever died from it is wrong.
ok listen. i am 21 yrs old, and have been around marijuana smokers for 95% of my life. it really gets me upset when i see or read things putting down people who smoke pot. i myself dont smoke it, but i know how people act on it.. and to be perfectly honest they are some of the smartest people i know. so i say that hell no marijuana isnt bad… if our dumb government would wise up they would do what they sould of done 30 plus years ago and LEGALIZE MARIJUANA.
That story is sad but ya’ll are stupid, those who think weed can kill people. Im high right now an im feelin good lol. My bro smokes the same stuff an he said it makes him Jittery. Whereas me i smoked some earlier an it just relaxes me. Relaxes me an puts me in a chill calm mood. Well people i have love for you.Gotta have love for my fellow POTHEADS. Lol iights im outties. One love
420 PEEPS =)
*High as a KITE*
Lovin it =-)
To Bill:
I appreciate your opinions, but they are poorly written. Your grammer is egregious. It’s almost like you’re trying to prove to people that not smoking marijuana makes you dumber.
Too: as in too much
To: as in go to the store
How is it that a marijuana smoker can know this, and you don’t?
You’re: as in you are
Your: as in your brain off drugs
