Marijuana Overdoses Kill 37 in Colorado On First Day of Legalization - The Daily Currant

Colorado is reconsidering its decision to legalize recreational pot following the deaths of dozens due to marijuana overdoses.

According to a report in the Rocky Mountain News, 37 people were killed across the state on January 1st, the first day the drug became legal for all adults to use. Several more are clinging onto life in local emergency rooms and are not expected to survive.

Its sad, I hate to hear this but my first thought is, wow that didn't take long. But I just watched the news and they claim the are not reconsidering the legalization, in fact they re proud of it and quite excited about the revenue that will be coming in.

Nope, your right

[SnakeyJay]

Lmao, gotta be a wind up... Can't overdose!

[Terranaut]

There has only been one ever recorded pot overdose in history and the guy smoked so much it was iffy wether he died from the weed or lack of oxygen. That is ludicrous and non scientific at best.

ahahha... this is in the comedy section for a reason. It's a satire article. Note the reference to Jesse Pinkman(Breaking Bad) and Jack Shepard(Lost).

Lmao, I didnt notice this was in the comedy section at first. I was gonna say impossible unless they ate way to much. It's impossible to smoke a lethal amount, you'd pass out with your hand in a bag of Doritos long before you could. Eating is a different story, that is possible, but extremely unlikely. You'd have to be able to eat a meal proportionate to what my retics eat.

I don't believe this either, you'd slip into unconsciousness long before you'd die.

i've smoked 2 or 3 joints of cannabis every night before bed for nearly 30 years,it relaxes me and helps me sleep,i think its ridicules that people are branded criminals,when the ONLY thing they have ever done regards breaking ALL laws,was smoke some plant matter,i can't enter America and other countries,just because i have a criminal record for cannabis,ive never broke any other laws,if you research why America and Britain banned cannabis,you will see how ludicrous their reasons were .....

imo it;s a good thing they have legallised it,now folk can smoke in the privacy of their own homes,without fear of police smashing your door in,and branding you a criminal,then throwing you in jail,the smokers ain't causing trouble,or bothering anyone,they should be allowed to smoke,especially if you take into account,the sanctioned taking of alchohol,and all the trouble it has caused,yet it's been legal and sensationalised for years

you don't see any stoners beating up there wives,breaking into houses to steal to buy weed,the worst a weed smoker will do,is get the munchies and eat all your food...

I RESPECT your views and standards Kevin,but for a very small percentage of people who have an underlying sycolocical issues,cannabis/weed does a lot of good,an old friend aged 65 uses cannabis to relieve his M.S.,another 70 year old uses it to stop his hands from constantly shaking,it relieves the pain from nerve damage and a lot of metal holding my right femur together

if enough States in America legalise it,then the U.K. may follow suit


cheers shaun

[KORBIN5895]

I never bothered to read the article but I assumed they did legalize it as Colorado has been looking to for a long time.
