Canada did a study on daily MJ smokers and they cost the health care system 20$ a year. While cigs and alcohol users were way way more than that.
Fast food is much more of health risk and social cost than Cannabis but no one is banning cheese burgers. You just know if you eat them everyday you could die much quicker.


Spiral Out

True... but compromise must be found, and i don't see why a portion of the revenue from the sale of legal cannabis cannot be used to fund educating people that other drugs (crack, cocaine, heroin, meth... etc) do regulary cause serious harm to users and others.

Perhaps i should clarify... because an ad campaign funded by legal MJ sales against MJ would will probably be something along the lines of.... "Dont smoke Pot..... You could get like.... Really hungry, and like... Eat a lot of cheetos."



I'm sorry we have beat this horse so bad i just cant really take this discussion seriously again. Someone just throw a link up to the old thread and say.... see for referance.
