I don't smoke weed at all anymore, just a personal choice. Some of you are so slow though it's amazing. Franck is right there at the top of that list.

What they're trying to show with this is that deaths DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTED to Marijuana is zero. That is, nobody is smoking a joint and ends up dead from that action. Once you start adding in other factors, like car accidents where somebody may have been stoned you've lost site of the point.

What they're trying to demonstate that is things like smoking, booze and yes even peanuts kill people every year all by themselves, and thus as direct contributors to death they are clearly more dangerous than Marijuana. That's it, end of point. You can't dispute that because it's true. Nobody is in here arguing it's a miracle drug, or it's good for you, or anything else. When you start bringing stuff up like that you're deflecting from the original point.

Trying to argue that people get stoned and cause car accidents and thus Marijuana is inherently dangerous is just a stupid argument. Of course that happens. People also die because they cause car accidents while using their cellular phones. Does that make cellular phones in and of themselves dangerous? No of course not.
