It is a lie. Admit it.

In the article that you posted it says that "scromiting" is rare.

Thread fail.
Watch out everyone! It's a flood!



Better get out the kayak for this one!

puppies kill more people then pot does. Thats harmless. Nothing is 100% harmless, but pot is darned close. Maybe you should focus on the "problem" of puppies. Its just as dangerous.

Of course the idea of doing so is absurd, just as your argument here is equally absurd.

More bad news for the notion that pot is safe and great. The drugs build up in your brain and cause vomiting and screaming. Chime: but, but, but, big pharma!
Kinda funny, actually.
But I can see that happening to me, if I even smoked a cigarette Smoking anything is stupid; smoking pot is extra stupid.

That's why it's so great that marijuana can be consumed in a number of ways.

A fine cigar and a cognac after dinner say otherwise.

Nice strawman you have there.

Where are these pot pushers who say it's harmless?

Most commonly I've heard it's no worse for you than booze, probably better in the long run (or words to that effect). Nothing is harmless to an idiot, from paperclips (you'll put your eye out) to water (drowning and water toxicity). That said when used appropriately Pot is less damaging to you than booze. It's probably less dangerous overall than acetaminophen (you know the liver damage issue with good ol' Tylenol don'tcha?).

Don't come here. It is terrible. People lying all over the place from pot overdoses. 7/11s can't keep Doritos in stock and Papa Johns run out of pizza quite often. It is terrible.
