It's the reefer madness I tells ya...

MD police chief testifies that 37 people OD'ed on marijuana the first day it was legalized in CO. I bet they were sharing their pot needles too.

It's amazing how quickly we accept research that confirms our beliefs.  And how easily we dismiss evidence that goes against our beliefs.  None of us are immune to it.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

OD on weed  ???   ;/

Anyway, wouldn't it solve some problems if the story was true?   >:D
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

If you're smoking enough weed to OD, then you're probably going to die of carbon monoxide poisoning first....  ;/

There's plenty of anecdotal evidence.  I'm sure there's been studies along these lines, however, I'm not willing to research the topic. 

Some things are best accepted on faith . . .

OD on weed?  Yeah, right.  They probably ODed on potato chips, cookies, and ice cream....Blame the girl scouts.  They were selling cookies right outside the weed store......chris3
