Marijuana vs.caffeine : Why Is Marijuana the “bad” Drug?

Question by Dr. Trebulta: Marijuana vs.caffeine : Why is marijuana the “bad” drug?
Deaths in the United States in a typical year are as follows:

* Tobacco kills about 400,000
* Alcohol kills about 80,000
* Workplace accidents kill 60,000
* Automobiles kill 40,000
* Cocaine kills about 2,500
* Heroin kills about 2,000
* Aspirin kills about 2,000
* Marijuana kills 0

There has never been a recorded death due to marijuana at any time in US history.

All illegal drugs combined kill under 20,000 per year, or a small percent of the number killed by alcohol and tobacco.

Tobacco kills more people each year than all of the people killed by all of the illegal drugs in the last one hundred years.

Death by caffeine happens every year by overdose. Pregnant women drinking caffeine are twice as likely to have a miscarriage. People routinely get bad side effects from not drinking or ingesting their fix of caffeine on a daily basis.

Yet know one dies from marijuana use. There is no physical symptoms going without either. High School and College Valedictorians have come from Mothers who have smoked Marijuana throughout their pregnancy more often than you realize.
