A nine year old who attended his SOTU gets killed in his home town and nothing happens. Lane closures in NJ are more important than the rash of 9 years olds killed as colateral damage of the drug war waged unimpeded by the gangs.


The murder rate and related drug deaths are not on obama's agenda so in a legal sense that makes him not responsible for items not listed. You are right!

It's Obama bending over for every crony capitalist that has ever walked into his office in the last 8 years.

the real answer is big pharma

they are giving people opiates like candy and then once they can't get a prescription refilled they go to the cheapest thing that gives the same high. Heroin.

It also highlights ignorance when someone puts cannabis in the same category as those other plants.

No, I didn't run away, I provided a number of medical studies saying exactly what I said. Not surprisingly here you are, asking for someone to spoon feed the same links to you again.

It is so easy to Google some info on you own, but some people are simply too helpless to help themselves.

A growing body of evidence indicates that marijuana may acutely affect the circulatory system triggering cardiovascular events

If someone has arrhythmia, is it safe to consume medical grade marijuana?
Marijuana use has been specifically associated with bouts of atrial fibrillation. Therefore, there are numerous reasons that the use of even medical grade marijuana would be ill-advised with a history of arrhythmia

Marijuana on the Heart: It Can Cause Problems
20 people suffered heart attacks and 9 died.

Goodbye everyone | Marijuana Forums
it turns out that Marijuana can cause PVC's and PAC's in people who never had them. (PVC = Premature Vascular Contractions)

Etc, etc, etc

Then ask yourself where is the heroin coming from, Mexico. My question is where are the poppies coming from in order for the Mexican drug cartels ability to process them into heroin? Is it Mexico or perhaps its Afghanistan? I believe its Afghanistan. I hope that is not the case.

I recall a few years ago the US and Mexico came to an agreement pertaining to Mexican tractor trailers in which they will be allowed to cross our borders much more frequency with much less US regulations involved......see a pattern? I hope there isn't one.

From the link I read that you believe justifies your statement that many people have died from having heart attacks after using cannabis:

"Researchers found most patients were men, with an average age of about 34. Regular marijuana users with a family history of heart disease had an increased risk of heart disease, according to the study, published today (April 23) in the Journal of the American Heart Association. "Many of the patients also had other risk factors for heart disease, such as smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol, the researchers noted. Nevertheless, nearly half of the patients were regular users of only marijuana."Sigh.

Well, at least you tried. I really didn't expect you to be able to justify your original statement since no evidence exists, so at least I'm not disappointed.

Keep up the losing fight!

Yes, links prove my statement 100%. Keep telling yourself it is harmless. You are free to believe whatever you want.
