Message: [QUOTE="shinedown.45, post: 4148177, member: 12766"] Educate yourself on marijuana and you won't be placing it in the same category as Heroin, cocaine, lsd. The reason I don't place marijuana in the same group is because it is impossible to overdose on marijuana. [COLOR=#4A4A4A][FONT=Georgia] According to a [URL="http://www.ccguide.org/young88.php"]1988 United States administrative law hearing[/URL]: [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#4A4A4A][INDENT]“7. Drugs used in medicine are routinely given what is called an LD-50. The LD-50 rating indicates at what dosage fifty percent of test animals receiving a drug will die as a result of drug induced toxicity. A number of researchers have attempted to determine marijuana’s LD-50 rating in test animals, without success. Simply stated, researchers have been unable to give animals enough marijuana to induce death. [/INDENT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#4A4A4A][INDENT] [LIST] [*]At present it is estimated that marijuana’s LD-50 is around 1:20,000 or 1:40,000. In layman terms this means that in order to induce death a marijuana smoker would have to consume 20,000 to 40,000 times as much marijuana as is contained in one marijuana cigarette. NIDA-supplied marijuana cigarettes weigh approximately .9 grams.

The marijuana is there to handle my anxiety issues, financial stresses of daily life and the best part of it is I don't need a prescription or have to pay the outrageous fees associated with prescription meds.
