Marijuana seems to be one of them. So can be gambling, or sex, or food.
Many things are addictive to some people.

While you pretend the smiley enjoy these stats
https://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/fact-sheets/alcohol-use.htm The difference in downsides is many orders of magnitude out there. |

Heh.
When you don't count things like a teenager's death from jumping out a window after eating or smoking pot as a "pot related death" or the three of my friends who died when stoners plowed into them I-5 "pot related deaths", you can make your stats look very good. "But there aren't any pot related deaths! It's safe." Please. Also, show me the stat about alcohol, after light, transient use, permanently affecting the brain's neural network. Go ahead. I'll wait. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again. |

I'll grant you 100 deaths per year
Vastly overstating reality, but hey, I'm generous that way. My orders of magnitude statement holds. |
