It's in a graph so it must be true.









All joking aside I agree with these results.

I'm all for marijuana... don't get me wrong... when I retire i am going to fire up a fatty of EPIC proportions. Heck, I'm on record here saying I'm in favor of full legalization of ALL narcotics.

BUT

I really have to wonder about the metrics here - toxic doses? This is misleading.

Certainly, if you drink 2 bottles of bourbon, you may find yourself in the morgue. Not so much if you smoke a whole half pound of marijuana.

But if both are used in moderation... say, 2-3 beers a day or 1-2 joints a day.... one of those involves a high caloric intake. The other involves BREATHING SMOKE INTO YOUR LUNGS.

On that metric, I fail to see how marijuana is any more healthy than smoking cigarettes, which of course is DE DEBBIL of things that are bad for you.

Seriously- I can't wait to see what the nanny state does with marijuana- all the potheads are going to be wishing for the good ol days when the sh!t was illegal and cheap.

That chart is very informative.

[Pwns]

Not anti pot, but I assume this is talking about a one-time lethal dose. It doesn't talk about long-term effects or mind-altering effects. That's different.

I don't know if I would call 1-2 joints a day the same as 2-3 beers in terms of moderation. Depending on the size of the joint, of course.

I think it has to do with the fact that cigarettes are spiked with dozens of other chemicals to intensify the buzz.

I doubt the data is available but it would be interesting to see if American Indians, who smoked tobacco most of their lives, died of lung cancer at the rate we do.

What a fun little story. It doesn't strike you as odd that meth is the second "safest"? Or you're just going to run with the graphic and not the actual research?

From the study...

Aside from the limitations in data, our results should be treated carefully particularly in regard to dissemination to lay people. For example, tabloids have reported that “alcohol is worse than hard drugs” following the publication of previous drug rankings. Such statements taken out of context may be misinterpreted, especially considering the differences of risks between individual and the whole population.

The stampede for people dropping their Budweisers and shutting down their home microbrews and instead setting up a meth lab in their basements is going to be substantial with this graph.

Nothing strikes donks as odd when it matches their agenda... much like the hockey stick graph.

I thought the same thing. Meth is safer than Alcohol?

Well, it's likely based on a survey of users as to what their typical intake is. Meth users probably underestimate what they use (or are lying sneaks - that's how they were on "Breaking Bad"), and pot smokers simply can't remember how much they smoked and probably forgot to answer the question altogether. Drunks like to brag so they probably exagerrated their numbers.

Well for every ONE of you who (allegedly) views graphs like this as a "lark", there's hundreds of idiots (and many on this board) who legitimately view "larks" like this as justification for their belief system.

Hen you are the prime example of missing a joke and taking yourself too seriously

Two powerful House Republicans late Tuesday warned D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser not to move forward with legalizing marijuana in the nation’s capital and they warned of stiff federal retribution if the city’s chief executive did not yield.

The letter came on the same day that Bowser declared that a voter-approved measure to legalize pot would become law in the city at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday and the letter set the stage for a dramatic final 24 hours before that deadline.

“If you decide to move forward tomorrow with the legalization of marijuana in the District, you will be doing so in knowing and willful violation of the law,” read the letter signed by U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chair of the appropriations subcommittee that handles the D.C. budget.
