Marijuana is far less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco. Around 50,000 people die each year from alcohol poisoning. Similarly, more than 400,000 deaths each year are attributed to tobacco smoking. By comparison, marijuana is nontoxic and cannot cause death by overdose. According to the prestigious European medical journal, The Lancet, "The smoking of cannabis, even long-term, is not harmful to health. ... It would be reasonable to judge cannabis as less of a threat ... than alcohol or tobacco."

"Grow More Pot"

  • This looks like an amazing video, but in order to publish it here you should have made the lettering larger or at least upload it in HD or not at all.

    This is a big miss you guys.

  • Tried...but my converter sucks. Sorry, but you can find a better version of the beginning of this video on "THELIGHT" channel.

  • jello biafra is one of the smartest political activists that there has ever been. I absolutely recommend looking into more of his spoken word (and band as well) work. If you have ever herd of the Dead Kennedys (by their hits police truck, California Uber Alles, and Holiday in Cambodia), he was the lead singer and songwriter in the band back in the seventies. Been a long time fan of his, and he never ceases to amaze me.

  • @AlphaLinkX yes but you can also overdose on water so point is marijuana is not toxic to the human body

  • Wait, why did you put a watermark over the original video's watermark?

    The fuck?

  • @chessonmyshirt I had thought it was 144,000 joints in a day? Hmm, even less toxic then I had originally thought.

  • @AlphaLinkX Mainly because for you to die from a Marijuana overdose you would have to smoke 144,000 joints in an hour, but you would fall asleep by the time you hit the 10th joint.

  • @fox20012 Also, nobody has smoked that much marijuana to be able to overdose. Not once.

  • @fox20012 Indeed, you can overdose on Marijuana. However, you would die from the smoke long, long before the multiple tons of marijuana you would have to smoke would kill you.

  • there's a link to HQ version of this video:

    worldstarhiphop-com - search title "The History Of Weed!"

    and you can't find this clip on YouTube anymore, why? :)
