It makes me laugh when the pro-marijuana people start using statistics like these in an attempt to validate their arguments.
Hey, marijuana has been used for over 5000 years! OMG! Well, gee, I guess that must make it safe for usage, right? Hmm, what else has been used for 5,000 years? I know: stoning people to death. Yeah, that's been around a really long time, like definitely over 5,000 years. Okay, I guess we can automatically add that to your retarded list of "Things That Must Be Safe Because They Are Old."
No one has ever overdosed on marijuana? Awesome. Guess what else no one has ever overdosed on: LSD. Yup, true story, it's essentially impossible to overdose on LSD. So, I guess that makes LSD safe for usage, right? Fuck no it doesn't, you stupid hippie.
No one has ever overdosed on marijuana, but plenty of people have died or been seriously injured or seriously injured other people as a result of their intoxication on marijuana. But I suppose that doesn't really count, does it? Wait, yes, to people with functioning brains it kind of does count.
For the record, here's my stance: marijuana should be legalized, and that has nothing to do with my desire to indulge in using marijuana. People who share this view should stop posting stupid propoganda shit that hurts more than helps that cause.
