Statistically speaking this is true, no deaths have ever been attributed to marijuana use, while peanuts kill 100 people every single year!  Who knew that peanuts were more of a public health issue than weed?

Annually we can expect:

  • 435,000 deaths due to tobacco use
  • 365,000 deaths due to poor diet & lack of exercise
  • 85,000 deaths due to alcohol
  • 32,000 deaths due to prescription drugs
  • 26,347 deaths due to motor vehicle injuries
  • 20,308 deaths due to homicide
  • 7,600 deaths due to aspirin
  • 100 death due to peanut allergies
  • 0 deaths due to marijuana

Zero deaths expected annually and still this flower is illegal.  Please tell me how that makes sense?
