This brings up an issue, though.

There is a trend to lace MJ with other drugs to make it addictive. So when doing MJ, three is usually another drug involved without the knowledge of the user.

Trend? Hardly. It happens, but is not as widespread as after school specials would like you to believe.

Oh, and it happens ONLY because it's illegal. That's like saying it should remain illegal because it supports drug dealers and gets people killed over drug deals gone wrong. Issues that dissolve once legal.

And Pan, I can't take seriously any report that says "Zero or nearly zero". It's one or the other and if they're being that vague, it makes the whole thing highly suspect. Sorry, I prefer hard data to support my causes, not spin.

Girl I knew in high school smoked a joint laced with something else. Ended up with permanent brain damage. She presented very similar to a stoke victim. Mostly paralyzed on one side. Had to relearn how to eat, talk, basic functions. It was very sad.

And those aren't even the numbers that include Alcohol and Tobacco related deaths. Even cancer deaths are no-existant. The average cigarette smoker will smoke 20 cigs a day, 10-15 drags per cig. Pot Smoker? Far less drags, far less tar, zero additives, etc...

Speaking of additives.... This is a false rumor/wives tale/urban legend of the highest order. It was said when I was in High School, the dealers were lacing MJ with Cocaine or Herion. Lace a $2 joint with a $100 a gram substance? Never happened.

I do know of people who would lace thier own stuff.

But even IF MJ was laced, all the more reason to legalize it, or buy Medical MJ, as you know it is clean.
