My point being it's a useless statistic

Compare it to other things and then make a determination about how dangerous it may be.

Everything is dangerous. How many people die choking on chicken bones vs. eating a pot brownie, per 1000 instances of use? You need proper relative rates before you can say "oh god its so dangerous halp the poor peeples".

That's not my objection.

My objection is to the HUGE crowd of "Pot never killed anyone" propagandists. See one-liner below.

now if they put a hotel on the property, it is on my way to work - (boxley) - (36) - Sept. 29, 2015, 02:55:44 PM EDT

Welp, partakers better avoid pee tests for 3 months after visiting. - (mmoffitt) - (34) - Sept. 29, 2015, 03:19:06 PM EDT

30 days for weed - (boxley) - (32) - Sept. 29, 2015, 05:16:52 PM EDT

California NORML says up to 100 days for regular users. - (mmoffitt) - (31) - Sept. 30, 2015, 11:32:59 AM EDT

I was a daily user for 5 years - (crazy) - (30) - Oct. 3, 2015, 07:57:18 PM EDT

Not ever having been a member of that particular sub-culture, I've no idea. - (mmoffitt) - (29) - Oct. 4, 2015, 04:44:40 PM EDT

I'm going to regret this - (drook) - (28) - Oct. 4, 2015, 09:06:45 PM EDT

I shouldn't bite, but WTH? - (mmoffitt) - (27) - Oct. 5, 2015, 08:06:21 AM EDT

The behavior is normative for a substantial portion of the population - (crazy) - Oct. 5, 2015, 08:58:33 AM EDT

Anything not prohibited is mandatory? -NT - (drook) - (25) - Oct. 5, 2015, 09:41:42 AM EDT

Anything not prohibited is acceptable. FIFY. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (24) - Oct. 5, 2015, 10:20:50 AM EDT

"permit" != "promote" -NT - (drook) - (2) - Oct. 5, 2015, 10:23:46 AM EDT

Unless what you're permitting had previously been banned. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (1) - Oct. 5, 2015, 10:37:34 AM EDT

Suppose you are standing in a hole - (drook) - Oct. 5, 2015, 10:43:16 AM EDT

Anything prohibited is acceptable FIFY. anything prohibited is irrational fear of the ruling class - (boxley) - (20) - Oct. 5, 2015, 10:36:38 AM EDT

Hmmm. Irrational fear? - (mmoffitt) - (19) - Oct. 5, 2015, 10:38:36 AM EDT

Headline: "Pot Edibles Safer Than Taking Selfies" ;-) -NT - (malraux) - (3) - Oct. 5, 2015, 10:43:00 AM EDT

Another headline: First two deaths confirmed. - (mmoffitt) - (2) - Oct. 5, 2015, 10:46:52 AM EDT

My point being it's a useless statistic - (malraux) - (1) - Oct. 5, 2015, 11:00:31 AM EDT

That's not my objection. - (mmoffitt) - Oct. 5, 2015, 11:54:14 AM EDT

Alcohol responsible for 1 in 7 deaths among CO adults - (drook) - (14) - Oct. 5, 2015, 11:26:49 AM EDT

In other news: Smoking never killed anyone. Nobody ever died from an overdose of cigarettes. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (13) - Oct. 5, 2015, 11:53:08 AM EDT

stating a fact doesnt help. If you quit smoking at 14yo and died at 97, it was from tobacco -NT - (boxley) - (2) - Oct. 5, 2015, 12:04:34 PM EDT

BBC: Lancet - 1/3 of young men in China will die from smoking if they don't quit. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Oct. 9, 2015, 07:00:18 AM EDT

I bet you the Party owns the tobacco farms. - (a6l6e6x) - Oct. 9, 2015, 12:58:11 PM EDT

Wrong - (drook) - (9) - Oct. 6, 2015, 03:12:49 PM EDT

Fail. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (8) - Oct. 6, 2015, 04:01:32 PM EDT

She doesn't count? -NT - (drook) - (7) - Oct. 6, 2015, 04:02:42 PM EDT

She didn't die from smoking cigarettes, did she? - (mmoffitt) - (6) - Oct. 6, 2015, 04:16:15 PM EDT

Your examples ... - (drook) - (5) - Oct. 6, 2015, 08:00:34 PM EDT

Plus, you can die from eating nicotine - (malraux) - (4) - Oct. 6, 2015, 11:19:44 PM EDT

however it works well on hemmoroids -NT - (boxley) - (2) - Oct. 6, 2015, 11:47:13 PM EDT

Sounds about as safe as an alcohol enema. -NT - (malraux) - (1) - Oct. 7, 2015, 12:39:35 PM EDT

works better than anything else on the market - (boxley) - Oct. 7, 2015, 02:02:31 PM EDT

You certainly can.. - (Ashton) - Oct. 7, 2015, 06:33:45 AM EDT

So I visited your link which led to this - (crazy) - Oct. 6, 2015, 02:11:56 PM EDT

If it's lucrative, it will be replicated at other more convenient reservations. -NT - (a6l6e6x) - Sept. 30, 2015, 09:07:26 AM EDT
