Pot Kills.
Pot kills slowly over time and it kills via overdose in one-sitting.
Here are the facts.
Here is a link to a review board of competent medical professionals presenting with accuracy and veracity the deadly reality about pot in the links that follow: Medical Review Board
From The Health Effects of Marijuana:
The valid authorities speak out on another deadly aspect of pot: How Does Marijuana Affect Driving?
Regarding memory damage, the valid authorities say: Long-Term Marijuana Use Affects Memory
And the risk to teens from pot: Teen Brains Damaged by Heavy Marijuana Smoking
The valid authorities present the social ineptness caused by pot abuse: Heavy Marijuana Use Affects Learning, Social Skills
As to the delusions suffered by pot smokers accurately presented above, that means, according to the valid authorities: Delusions -- Definition of Delusions
And more damaging pot effects, including pot's addictive property: Marijuana use and its effects
Most of the damage done to the user from pot is degenerative in disease-nature. When degenerative disease commences, in this case with the first toke ever taken by the pot abuser, unless treated to reversal, degenerative disease is ultimately always fatal. Pot is most certainly deadly, and most brain-cell damage is irreversible.
But some of the damage caused by pot is death by over-dose, despite the myth spread by pot abusers that such "never" happens. Here's one of the long-known myth-busters: local law enforcement reports from coroners. Marijuana-Only Drug Abuse Deaths 2002 -- this proves that it's a myth that pot "never" causes immediate one-sitting death to the pot abuser, a myth spread by, who else: pot abusers. Just look at the "Single Drug Marijuana Deaths" column at the 2002 chart at the bottom: 157 deaths from pot over-dose alone!. And that's just in the small subset of selected cities in 2002 alone. Add the whole world up over time and clearly millions of over-dose pot-only drug-abuse deaths have occurred, all attempted to be covered up by NORML and other pot-legalization groups!
And if over-dose-death from pot-abuse doesn't directly kill the abuser, suffocation from passing out and basic chemical poisoning can, sadly too often, occur, and then it will show up in local reports like this one: Unintentional Injuries In Allegheny County 2000-2005. This report shows that there are a number of ways pot-abuse can kill you in one sitting!
And Wiki corroborates the valid authorities that pot kills so many human abiliities, not just one's very life: Effects of Cannabis. The delusions, lying and other forms of not telling the truth, driving impairment, neurological damage, etc. are all caused by pot!
And, considering that the common form of pot today is "skunk", and that skunk is 30 times stronger than the kind of pot from the '60s, smoking one joint today, which is the "normal" daily fix of the drug, is like smoking a full 30 joints back then! Obviously that's gonna cause great damage .. or death!
Yes, clearly, pot kills, both the abusers and those around them:
Pilot In Crash Had Marijuana In His System
Autopsy report: Man died of fall from Oread roof, had alcohol and marijuana in system
Coroner's report: Lewis had marijuana in system – remember, as presented above, pot causes the heart to accelerate "20 to 50 bpm" faster .. "risk for a heart attack is four times higher" when doing pot, as we now know.
Marijuana in skydiver's system Report says he smoked 2 hours before fatal fall.
Slaying suspect used cocaine, pot.
Marijuana found in 3 Coral Springs teens killed in crash, reports say.
Pot smoking linked to [car] crash.
.. And millions more.

Pot kills slowly over time and it kills via overdose in one-sitting.
Here are the facts.
Here is a link to a review board of competent medical professionals presenting with accuracy and veracity the deadly reality about pot in the links that follow: Medical Review Board
a team of board certified physicians and certified health professionals from leading institutions
From The Health Effects of Marijuana:
Pot kills in many ways that legalization activists deny to make it easier to get stoned if pot's legal.Although legalization activists and many marijuana users believe smoking pot has no negative effects, scientific research indicates that marijuana use can cause many different health problems.
The moment it's inhaled, pot immediately begins damaging one's health.When smoked, it begins to effect users almost immediately
Whether smoked or injested, pot is damaging.When it is eaten in food, such as baked in brownies and cookies, the effects take longer to begin, but usually last longer.
Just the damage to perception pot causes is really bad. "Trouble thinking and problem solving", "distorted perception", "anxiety, fear, distrust, panic" .. that's paranoia. Indeed pot users exhibit paranoid behavior.Short-Term Effects
The short-term effects of marijuana include:
•Distorted perception (sights, sounds, time, touch)
•Problems with memory and learning
•Loss of coordination
•Trouble with thinking and problem-solving
•Increased heart rate, reduced blood pressure
Sometimes marijuana use can also produce anxiety, fear, distrust, or panic.
Pot damages brain functions. Short or long -term, pot kills brain cells, creating dysfunctional behavior, immediately, and over time.When high doses of marijuana are used, usually when eaten in food rather than smoked, users can experience the following symptoms:
•Hallucinations
•Delusions
•Impaired memory
•Disorientation
Pot can cause heart attacks; it's a deadly health risk.Effects on the Heart
Within a few minutes after smoking marijuana, the heart begins beating more rapidly and the blood pressure drops. Marijuana can cause the heart beat to increase by 20 to 50 beats per minute, and can increase even more if other drugs are used at the same time.
Because of the lower blood pressure and higher heart rate, researchers found that users' risk for a heart attack is four times higher within the first hour after smoking marijuana, compared to their general risk of heart attack when not smoking.
Pot creates overall deadly bad health in its abuser.Scientists have found that regular marijuana smokers can experience the same respiratory problems as tobacco smokers do, including:
•Daily cough and phlegm production
•More frequent acute chest illnesses
•Increased risk of lung infections
•Obstructed airways
Yes, pot's way worse than tobacco per toke, another deadly aspect of pot.Marijuana contains more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke and because marijuana smokers typically inhale deeper and hold the smoke in their lungs longer than tobacco smokers, their lungs are exposed to those carcinogenic properties longer, when smoking.
marijuana smoke contains three times the amount of tar found in tobacco smoke and 50 percent more carcinogens, it would seem logical to deduce that there is an increased risk of lung cancer for marijuana smokers
Pot hampers the immune system, increasing risk of infections and tumors. Deadly!Research indicates that THC impairs the body's immune system from fighting disease, which can cause a wide variety of health problems. One study found that marijuana actually inhibited the disease-preventing actions of key immune cells. Another study found that THC increased the risk of developing bacterial infections and tumors.
Our kids infamously suffer from pot damage. No wonder responsible parents and grandparents want to keep pot illegal, as legalization is sanctioning and condoning pot use, and no responsible parent or grandparent would ever do that to their kids!Several studies have found that children born to mothers who used marijuana during pregnancy exhibit some problems with neurological development. According to those studies, prenatal marijuana exposure can cause:
•Altered responses to visual stimuli
•Increased tremulousness
•Problems with sustained attention and memory
•Poor problem-solving skills
The valid authorities speak out on another deadly aspect of pot: How Does Marijuana Affect Driving?
Thus driving while stoned -- meaning for up to 24 hours from initial use, or the long-term-use damage of "perpetually stoned" -- most certainly kills people in traffic accidents, as millions who've lost loved-ones in this way sadly know.Marijuana has serious harmful effects on the skills required to drive safely
In one study conducted in Memphis, TN, researchers found that, of 150 reckless drivers who were tested for drugs at the arrest scene, 33 percent tested positive for marijuana, and 12 percent tested positive for both marijuana and cocaine.
Data have also shown that while smoking marijuana, people show the same lack of coordination on standard "drunk driver" tests as do people who have had too much to drink.
These effects can last up to 24 hours after smoking marijuana. Marijuana use can make it difficult to judge distances and react to signals and sounds on the road.
Regarding memory damage, the valid authorities say: Long-Term Marijuana Use Affects Memory
Pot-abusers can't think straight!Long-term marijuana use causes memory, speed of thinking and other cognitive abilities get worse over time, but cognitive abilities are also affected in short-term pot smokers who use marijuana frequently.
And the risk to teens from pot: Teen Brains Damaged by Heavy Marijuana Smoking
Brain damage in teens. Pot advocates don't care about our teens, they just care about getting stoned.In spite of continued claims by marijuana proponents that the drug is harmless, researchers keep finding ways that it harms the body. A new study from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia using imagining technology has found visible damage in the developing brains of teenagers who are heavy marijuana smokers.
The valid authorities present the social ineptness caused by pot abuse: Heavy Marijuana Use Affects Learning, Social Skills
Yes, a vast amount of scientific research backs the authorized presentations, that the social skill of telling the truth is compromised by smoking pot.A vast amount of scientific research has shown that heavy marijuana use negatively affects smokers' learning abilities and social skills, causing problems in their daily lives and compounding their existing problems.
As to the delusions suffered by pot smokers accurately presented above, that means, according to the valid authorities: Delusions -- Definition of Delusions
Thus regardless of the valid scientific evidence is presented to pot-heads, they will simply deny it due to their pot-induced delusions.A delusion is a false belief that is firmly held even when direct evidence that the belief is false is presented to a person.
"The big bad government is out to get me" persecution complex of pot-heads is also quite famous, a brain-damaging effect of pot.Persecutory – delusions in which the central theme is that the person is being watched, attacked, or harassed (e.g., someone believing that he is being followed by government agents)
And more damaging pot effects, including pot's addictive property: Marijuana use and its effects
Pot addicts deny pot is psychologically addictive and that more recent research implicates some physically addictive properties of THC. But, they're addicts! One would expect them to be in denial. Pot addicts either delusionally or manipulatiely don't tell the truth about the damage pot causes.Contrary to what many pot smokers may tell you, marijuana is addictive, at least psychologically. Even among occasional users, one in 12 can feel withdrawal symptoms if they can't get high when they want to. Among heavy pot smokers, the rates of dependence are higher.
Many experts also believe that marijuana is physically addictive. Symptoms of withdrawal from pot might include:
aggression
anxiety
depressed mood
decreased appetite
Most of the damage done to the user from pot is degenerative in disease-nature. When degenerative disease commences, in this case with the first toke ever taken by the pot abuser, unless treated to reversal, degenerative disease is ultimately always fatal. Pot is most certainly deadly, and most brain-cell damage is irreversible.
