Even the relatively socially acceptable drug alcohol kills hundreds of thousands yearly. While moderate alcohol consumption is generally not harmful, excess drinking can lead to liver, mouth, and throat cancer, cirrhosis, hep c, heart disease, and an endless number of other diseases, not to mention the deadly menace drunk drivers pose to everybody.

Please stop perpetuating lies and myths about the cannabis plant. THC is one of the safest pharmacologically active/psychoactive substances in the known world. It is FAR less addictive than even caffeine, and is for all practical purposes impossible to ingest through eating or smoking to a quantity that could cause death. No one will die from a THC overdose, but an untold number of people this year alone will die from eating too many doughnuts, crossing the street without looking, not having health insurance, and so forth.
