Re: The Union: The Business Behind Getting High
I haven't seen the movie, but I, personally, think marijuana is bad. There's a lot of side effects and although it may not be a direct cause of death,
"studies show that 6 to 11 percent of fatal accidents are contributed to by marijuana side effects."
"Tobacco (435,000 deaths; 18.1% of total US deaths)"
It's no surprise that's at the top of the list. My dad had a quadruple heart bypass and is frequently visiting the
hospital thanks to a life of smoking. -.-

Rest in peace. <3

weed can indeed have side effects, when used too frequently. salt, coffee, and even water can have side effects when you put too much in your body. everything in moderation.
Sorry to heard about your dad D:.

Re: The Union: The Business Behind Getting High
I see some good facts that show half the story,
Tobacco
-
There are more than one billion smokers in the world.
-
Globally, use of tobacco products is increasing, although it is decreasing in high-income countries.
Weed
This adds up to 18 million Americans, including children, who reported using marijuana in the past year.
And you wonder why there's a difference between them,
Weed is illegal that's why there isn't much of it out there, it doesn't make it 'safe' because its been told that weed users normally give it up for
something stronger which makes it cause to drug addiction.
