Believe what you want but the ones that kill, that are the most addictive, that ruin the lives and the families, are all man made. (including alcohol) To my knowledge, there is not one recorded death from smoking MJ and the juries are still out on the side effects.Quote:

And since most of the man-made chemicals on the street are made by idiots who got a recipe off the net or from a book, and haven't a clue about chemistry or physics, it's even worse. And as has been witnessed by the advent of meth and meth labs, they'll put anything in it that they happen to have laying around. They're in it for the money, not some altruistic longing for purity or a search for god. And when you get in to chemicals like, Dustoff, or Sterno, or paint or paint thinner, these weren't even designed for human consumption and we have seen the results. Usually death...or worse. Pharmaceuticals like Oxycontin, Vicodin, Morphine, DMT, etc, were at least designed for humans but were not designed specifically for entertainment. They are medicines that are being used in a manner they were not designed to be used. I'm not making moral judgements here but rather, common sense observations based on experience and both hard and anecdotal evidence.
