Enjoy!

 

Good read. Weed is harmless<3

 

Whoa, you can buy heroin at Safeway?!? SWEET!!

 

^^haha thats exactly what i thought. wtf are they talking about there? just deliberately cutting out the other toxic ones?

 

weed is not harmless ok, it just has similar ammount of harm as city air, not exactly safe, but pretty much harmless. i just confused myself lol

 

Wow, I was surprised to see acid so far down the 'harmless' side...

 

Ah, it's good to see the great drugs (LSD, Psilocybin, Marijuana) as the least harmful on there.

But marijuana harmless? Bullshit. Sure, it's not very harmful but it's certainly not harmless either.

 

"The least toxic drug known is now illegal. The most toxic is available at Safeway."

They are selling dioxin at Safeway? NO? No of course they aren't, that would just be really really stupid.

 

wtf^???

 

I remember when you could buy oxycontin at the grocery store. Same with ephederine.
Soon salvia will join the ranks of the above two...very soon.


I love the comment about the prohibitionists using nutmeg. That made me laugh a lot.

 

interesting to say the least

 

oxycontin? wtf?!

 

Blah blah blah

It said that smoking is more dangerous than eating....I agree if it is over a long period of time. It's effects on the lungs would make it more dangerous. But eating it is a lot more potent and more people "freak out" by eating it. And isn't eating it theoretically the only way one can OD on pot?

 

i was actually suprised that cocaine is less toxic than alcohol. that pretty cool

 

Don't confuse being "less toxic" with being "better for you". It all depends

 

by the way, opiates are only more likely to kill you because people take overdose amounts very easily, but opiates taken at a safe level are actually less damagin than almost all of those drugs

 

As I understand it is the impurities that they (the classic opiate) are cut with that cause the problems (short term at least).

Is that true?

-B

 

letlovintakehold: No the only way to OD on marijuana would be IV'ing an insane amount straight to your bloodstream.

What will happen of this report? Absolutely nothing. We already have studies showing that it is not as harmful as once thought, and even showing some positive factors introduced by smoking. The government needs to fucking listen, this is intolerable.

 

i think they mean Ni-Cotine is avaiable at safeway, and btw that chart is not a 'toxicity' chart, it relates how much you need to get high with how much you need ot kill yourself. the actual relative amounts needed to kill a person are not ordered in the same way.

 

idk i dont think it would take that much marijuana plant matter in your bloodstream to kill you

lol
