And to those of you that just have to make the wrong nasty name calling assumption, i don't use marijuana. I just thought that these were interesting as hell. If you knew anything about marijuana and it's history, perhaps you'd change the way you feel. It's not entirely your fault.... You we're programmed to believe it was bad. It's understandable, really!!!

I would say that pot is the only drug that is safe enough to do. It also seems like the population is being scribed way to many meds. Ya know pot is a dynamic cure all drug, plus it helps many get in touch with their thoughts and feelings!Growing up I insisted that my 2 sisters try pot at least once , just to make sure they would turn out alright!

What's tobacco again?
Pretty bad. Caffeine does that? No! How?
Yeah, since marijuana is listed last, I can see these "statistics" were compiled by a marijuana user passing off as a USGovNIoDA BofMR officer. I never heard of that department before. Can you provide the website?

when was the last time heard someone OD on mary jane....all these commercials that say i did this because of bud is BS
1 more thing she redid alcohol and it was 100,000.
And the Cop friend was right about people being high, but not high not Marijuana but Cocaine and crack and ice. And responsible smokin is necassary. you don't get drunk then go back to work. some people are dumbasses. you shouldn't do anything that impairs your judgement when operating machinary
Where is your statistic that shows that people who smoke just marijuana die of lung cancer. I don't see it. There are plenty of people who smoke bud but not cigarettes and there lungs are healthy.

Where are you getting this REALLY??
Cause a lot of speculation is going on with quite a few of your "stats"
Some of these are not going to be directly causing of the deaths of people.
Oh and you are one of the lovely idiots that think pot should be legal correct? Well pot contains MORE tar and cancer causing agents than that of a cigarette...
Check that site again....

That proves that you can make statistics say just about anything. Are they claiming that alcohol has only claimed 1 person?
although not surprised about the weed. Unless someone got high and went to sleep on the railroad tracks.

Yeah, but those stats don't include deaths caused by people taking drugs . . . i.e. driving drunk or under the influence of drugs. The person who is taking the drugs is not always the one who dies.
Put that up your a$$ and smoke it.

the fact that the weed death doesn't show are the ammount of deaths someone on weed caused. Weed doesn't kill people, but it impairs them which leads to other people dying. Car accidents because you were high and couldn't stop in time kill more than 10,000 people a year alone. My friend is a cop and he said that most murders in our city are commited by people that are high.

It shows that keeping Marijuana illegal is the right thing to do.

The numbers seem to exact..too made up.
Here's another statistic: 1 out of 100,000 numbers quoted on yahoo answers are true

the marijuana deaths dont include deaths caused by other peopl who are high. when you are high, your reflexes diminish.
i was working in a warehouse, and a forklift operator was smoking a joint on his break. when he got back in, he went forward when he meant to back up. there was a person standing in front of him and he cut the man in half.
marijuana causes deaths. but those who die aren't the ones who smoke it.
