Here is a forum with some people talking about their experiences: Marijuana caused arrhythmia - Heart Rhythm - MedHelp
So what? Some kids get so sick after eating peanuts, they have to go to the emergency room. So explain in view of that why society hasn't banned peanuts? Probably because such kids learn quick to avoid peanuts. The same can surely be said of marijuana users who have serious medical problems when using it.

LOL! I never had that luxury. My parents had a friend who smoked all the time. My mom said the smell made her sick, though I can't imagine why? I've always loved the smell. I know that my step dad has done it on ocassion, and once saw a little baggy in the cabinet when I was about 14 or 15. I didn't grab from it though. It was probably our friend who had left it behind.

I never kept it in my house as a teen. No sir. But people always had it, so if I wanted to smoke, I did.

People leave their kids in hot cars all day. This is a parenting issue.

It is not a crime to grow marijuana in Alaska, providing you keep it to 20 plants or less.

It's just a hobby. Why do people need sports? Sports can be dangerous as well but it's fun. So you take the risk!

You present a post on something that is supposed to support your stance on marijuana and I reply to with the same specifics you present and you have to ask what's my point?

It's not a crime in California either. The MM access law went into effect on August 1 1996.
How many plants an individual can grow is dependent upon the county you are in. Each county has a different set of guidelines.
In some counties if you have a plant or two and don't have card, they still will leave you alone.
It's not worth the trouble and expence to arrest someone for two plants in the backyard when there are people taking over public lands and growing massive amounts destine for the black market. Who go around shooting guns and won't let the hunters use the land for what it's is there for.
These black market growers damage the land and scare people off, their smoke may remain in the states, but the money goes south.
If marijuana was legal, then the tax payers could have the publics lands back because the commercial growers would no longer have a cash crop.
At 'home', people who live and dress a bit progressive/alternative would no longer be turned down when looking for a rental house. Commercial growers have been renting houses and tearing them up from the inside to 'blow it up' with lights in all the bedrooms. Because a lot of these growers have a certain 'fashion sense'- landlords assume anyone else who looks like that is going to grow in thier rental.
Several people I know have had to stay in campgrounds or where ever they could because no one would rent to them. They had a good rental history and would not be growing, but it was near impossible to rent a nice home in a good neighborhood.
Take big money out of the marijuana industry, make it legal so people can grow outdoors in an actual garden, and then the landlords won't be so quick to turn good tenants away.
