Marijuana addiction could also kill a person as it is often a gateway drug to other heavier drugs. And if there's evidence that heavy or habitual marijuana use leads to psychosis or schizophrenia then maybe it's more harmful than people realize.

You don't blame mj of someone uses another drug to kill themselves. That's ridiculous. The gateway drugs are tobacco, alcohol and anything in the medicine cabinet

If someone does from fentanyl it's not the fault of the joint they smoked as a teen. Ridiculous

That's not what I said. I said it can end up being a gateway drug for some. Plus we've already seen where some cities have legalized drug use and it's lead to a spike in crime.

Maybe you don't realize the amount of people that have smoked marijuana in their life. As utvolpj said the numbers make it an insignificant link.

It's one thing to get high in the comfort of your home once a week. It's another thing to do it every single day.

I smoked it back in the day but never got addicted to it. Wasn't my thing.

What's the difference between drinking every day and smoking every day?

I've known lots of weed smokers but no addicts. However alcoholism is an industry in this country

So you want people shooting up in parks and sidewalks like they do in San Francisco? You want us to have a society with more drug users which can lead to homelessness and an unwillingness to want to go out and find a job?

That was not your question. Pretty sure you just warned against sensationalism right?

9mms blow lungs clean out of the body, a rifle caliber most suited to coyote-sized game is a "high-powered" death machine of war, and now...

Democrat Rep: Stabilizing Braces Make AR-Pistols an 'Automatic Weapon'
During Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) claimed that a stabilizing brace turns an AR-pistol into an “automatic weapon.”

Cicilline sponsored the “assault weapons” ban passed by the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday night.

While debate on the bill was ongoing, Cicilline held up a poster showing an AR-pistol with a stabilizing brace. The brace serves as an aide for steadying an AR-pistol, as the individual shooting the pistol presses the brace against the forearm to keep the pistol poised for better accuracy.

But Cicilline claimed the the stabilizing brace doubles as bump stock.

He pointed to his poster of an AR-pistol and said, “This stabilizing brace, which is depicted here, when attached here it turns this weapon into an automatic weapon. It becomes a bump stock. And so, it will allow that to essentially be fired like an automatic weapon.”

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) responded to Cicilline’s claims by saying, “The Democrats are so zealous in their rush to ban everything related to guns and every gun that exists that I’m afraid Mr. Cicilline has his gun features mixed up. He just described the arm brace, which is used by people who have a handicap to help fire a pistol, he just described it as a bump stock.”

Massie added, “It’s neither a stock nor a bump stock.”

...but we're to accept these prohibitionists in good faith.

Nahhh.

It’s the easy way to get an sbr but with a crappy stock. It is nothing like that moron stated.
