HINT: Powerful($$$) lobbies buying legislators is not a good logical reason.

All those industries have very deep pockets and powerful lobbyists. The drug cartels also have powerful influence, enough to sway DEA laws and regulations to benefit them..when you think about it, they are probably the most powerful and influential industry in existence today, after all, they have an entire Govt agency to ensure people must get their drugs from them!

No, they're probably more interested in the actual truth than those willing to take their words and distort them with their own personal bias.

As are prohibitionists in their rabid willingness to distort facts to suit their own personal bias.

Most everything on the planet is "dangerous and toxic" to an infant. The kid may have died from lack of supervision that allowed contact with something a child should not have (though it appears the OPs article is highly questionable). That is not an argument to change the legal status of anything.

Though I do support imprisonment for promoting falsehoods. LOL

Here is another article discussing the 133 percent increase in ER visits and admissions due to the increase in THC exposure in kids:

Toxicity causes seizures and coma, like what happened to this kid. But I'm sure it's all just conspiracy and coincidence.

Harvard University explains how MJ causes the heart to work harder and significantly increases the risk of heart attack within an hour of use:

But does it cause inflammation of the heart which killed the kid?

People overdose on alcohol and die as a result. People who want to commit suicide go buy huge amounts of over the counter drugs and die. Do you deny science?

Do you have an M.D. beside YOUR name? You and another are refuting their claims, why should we care about your opinions?

They said the dope killed the child.

Please show us where they said that. You can't. They never said that marijuana was the cause of death.

“We are absolutely not saying that marijuana killed that child.”
