      Pot will never be legalized and it mustn't.

          i dont believe the number of zero for marijuana, it cannot be good for your lungs. i just dont think any research has been done on the effects of pot smoke.

          theres very little info on marijuanas effects out there.

            Seems to be some overlapping in those numbers. If somebody died from an "Incident involving firearms", wouldn't it likely be either a homicide or a suicide? Sure there's the occasional drunken hunting accident, where some idiot confuses a human being in camoflauge pants and a bright orange vest for a deer, but those can't be more than one or two a year. So that would make them Alcohol related as well.

            I'd also wager that a lot of the suicides and homicides would fall under "adverse reactions to Prescription drugs".

              Inhaling smoke of any kind can't be good for you.If you've ever tried to
              keep the smell down by exhaling into a towel you've seen the residue
              that didn't stick to your lungs.Imagine how much did.Look at a bong
              and the shit that cakes up in it.Also I'm sure some stoned moron has
              pushed his luck doing something stupid and ended up dead.As far as
              an overdose , I doubt that's possible.You'd fall asleep first.I've seen
              dudes choke from eating too fast when they get the munchies.None
              of them died.Unless you're mentally unstable I don't think a pot buzz
              would cause you to want to hurt someone or yourself.As far as research
              goes it would depend on the agenda of the funder.If they are against
              pot the research will focus on proving it's bad.Same goes for those who
              want it legalized.Neither one would be unbiased.

                probably went by the death certificate.

                  I don't think you would get "Poor Diet and Physical Inactivity" on a death certificate.

                    Mind you, you could have some pot deaths in there... i.e. too many years of eating munchies and sitting on the couch.

                    I've smoked since I was 12. Wish I'd never started. Whoever says pot isn't addictive, come see me when I've gone two days without a toke - can't sleep, can't shit, and bitchier than one could ever believe.

                    I tried quitting once, didn't fucking sleep for 3 months. When I found myself taking sleeping pills, I decided this is fucked, and went back to smoking. Like I say, I wish I'd never started.

                    My ex, who some of you may remember has Parkinson's Disease, couldn't function without it.
