HOW DANGEROUS IS MARIJUANA IN COMPARISON TO OTHER SUBSTANCES?

NUMBER OF AMERICAN DEATHS PER YEAR that result directly or primarily from the
following causes nationwide, according to World Almanacs, Life Insurance
Actuarial (death) Rates, and the last 20 years of U.S. Surgeon Generals
reports. (Figures are for 1988 from the federal governments Bureau of Mortality
Statistics and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, et al.-the last complete
year at the time of this writing.)

TOBACCO			340,000 to 425,000

ALCOHOL 		150,000+
(Not including 50% of all highway deaths and 65% of all murders)

ASPRIN			180 to 1,000+
(Including deliberate overdose)

CAFFEINE 		1,000 to 10,000
(From stress, ulcers and triggering irregular heartbeats, etc.)

'LEGAL' DRUG OVERDOSE	14,000 to 27,000
(Deliberate of accidental) from legal, prescribed or patent medicines and/ or
mixing with alcohol-e.g., Valium/alcohol

ILLICT DRUG OVERDOSE	3,800 TO 5,200
(Deliberate or accidental) from all illegal drugs.

THEOPOLINE		50
(Pharmaceutical drug legally prescribed for asthma)

MARIJUANA		0
Marijuana users also have the same or lower incidence of murders and highway
deaths and accidents than the general non-marijuana using population as a
whole. Crancer Study, UCLA; U.S. Funded ($6 million), First & Second Jamaican
Studies, 1968 to 1974; Costa Rican Studies, 1980 to 1982; et al.

				LOWEST TOXICITY
100% of the studies done at dozens of American universities and research
facilities show pot toxicity does not exist.  Medical history does not record
anyone dying from an overdose of marijuana. (UCLA, Harvard, Temple, etc.)
