tell me who you know who died from smoking marijuana. Tell me who you know who knows someone who died from smoking marijuna. Tell me when you last read a news account of an individual who died from smoking marijuana My friends 17 year old son began with that very thought. Smoking pot cannot hurt anyone so leave me alone. My friend buried his son in June. It is sad you see no consequence in anything . I remember you saying one time your name was partytime because you throw such great parties. Do you also provide illegal drugs to your guests?

tell me who you know who died from smoking marijuana Cause of death is never listed as "marijuana smoking" -- it's listed as lung cancer or other complications that result. What about traffic fatalities and industrial accidents resulting from marijuana intoxication? You're saying that's never happened? I don't think we've seen traffic or industrial accidents caused by tobacco. As an aside, relative to quality control, your policy would leave teen-aged children regulating the additives which get put into illicit substances. For example, more cocaine-related deaths result from the "cut" put into the substance, rather than from the substance itself. Why's the "cut" put in? To increase its quantity, thereby increasing profits for those who deal such substances. You understand this? Probably not. Ooh! That's so "street!" I could never keep up with things like that -- except when I see them on "Law & Order" or "NYPD Blue." You're, like, cooool. Who's talking about cocaine? And why do I care if some teenager cuts his dope with oregano? Your lame rationalizations for avoiding consequences are pathetic. Kill tobacco but legalize pot -- brilliant. What will you legalize next? Cocaine? I never hear of anyone dying from cocaine -- only from rapid heartbeat. Obviously these coke users just have weak cardiovascular systems.
