What about peple killed at drug deals gone bad? I've always wondered if that counts. I hope it doesnt because that sure would put a little dent in the record
In a way though, that would help for legalization, because if it was legal, we wouldn't have to get weed from dealers (necessarily).
It would be great if weed was available at smoke shops and stores; provided its not crap, messed up by big corporations. I think if it was legalized and sold, better strains could be made available to the public.
One of my friend's got jumped by a gang hockey pucks on his way home from work, and now only 29% of him is alive. Its really quite sad
Thats true. But if it is legal wouldnt people just rob the stores? I dont really care if it's ever legal or not. It would be nice if it was but really, I smoke enought pot now while it is ilegal.
Smoking dope on a regular basis like most of us on here do (1/4 ounce+ a week) probably isn't helping with our health, either. I really don't give a fuck about all these figures and statistics on dope or how they came to their conclusions anyway; there's always a study or someshit to contradict the other. Even if smoking MJ was undeniably proven to cause cancer like tobacco apparently does, most of us would turn a blind eye to it the same way cigarette smokers do. Why wouldn't we? A lot of people started smoking MJ without all of the "positive" knowledge that we seem to have about the suject nowadays anyhow.
