I am reading a book called "FatLand" which outlines the obesity epidemic in America - I can tell you how many people die of obesity related diseases if I flip back to the intro.

It's difficult to tell how many "weed-associated" deaths there may be, though. Unless you can OD in a single moment, there are so many contributing factors leading up to a death that it's difficult to pinpoint cause. (just like "Mc-Donalds" deaths.)

ok ok ok... it's time for me to post:
drugs are neither good nor bad. it's the use of it that defines it as good or bad.

ex1: car accident, broke 12 bones, fracture 5 bones, two torn ankle ligaments and a concusion; Emergecy doc writes an Rx for morphine.

ex2
14 year old at a rave with 3 XTC pills.. pops all 3 in a 2 day period.
then parties the next weekend does the same....

ex3
20 year old, 2nd year univ, week after exams, 1/8 oz of shrooms...
get it?

given the context of the situation, it all becomes relative and to break it down, it comes to 3 main things: the reason in which drugs are taken, the type of drug and period in which the drug (or any other drugs) were taken.

i dont dont support drug use.. i don't support excessive drug use.

moderation is the key...

I was chronic for about 7 years and then due to medical reasons I had to quit... yes it can have bad side effects on some even after no problems with it for the first 6 1/2 years.

Personally it speeds my mind up, and those whirling scenario's... I get that if I'm buzzed, not sober. But the mental addiction comes with escapism, as in getting away from reality into my own world that plus the mental stimulation that inspired creativity and openmindedness in me was the main reason I smoked.

end result thru all the years that I was an active smoker, I recieved my college diploma in EET, and now licenced electrician to boot... so for me it wasnt bad at all and did no harm.

I reiterate, moderation is the key!

And yes, WEED is a drug!

My habbits are very controlled. I virtually quit smoking for the school year, even if during the summer I smoked like snoop dogg himself.

weed is a drug tho.. anything that alters your thoughts,brain etc to me is a drug!!
