Definitely agreed, (actually on all points, not just the bolded) if there are enough people smoking cigarettes in an enclosed space it can make me feel ill. With weed I am almost gipping if I have to sit near someone on the bus who has smoked it recently, if people could smoke it in public I'd have to wear a mask to go outside. It's clearly not a dangerous drug so being banned totally just seems stupid (especially considering cigarettes and alcohol are far more dangerous to the user and others around them) but it should be like public decency laws, just like you can't walk down the street naked but it's perfectly fine in private or in dedicated places.

I don't have any but I study criminology in university and I had a entire course on drogues. I remember we saw it and alot of ppl were surprised.

And no, our teacher was'nt the kind of teacher with ethics trying to scare his young student out of drugs. We also saw how alot of perception that gouvernements want us to have are seriously exxagereted for economic and social reasons. I remember him saying jokingly that cocaine is fine but crack is crap or something like that.

He also used to smoke weed (and I assume he toke more serious stuffs too), he said he does'nt smoke anymore but I have my doubts.

"One of the those victims was 29-year-old Jesse Bruce Pinkman, a former methamphetamine dealer from Albuquerque who had recently moved to Boulder to establish a legal marijuana dispensary."

Is this the actor of Breaking Bad? JK but for an instant it made me guess!

Guys, guys settle down. There are numerous numerous references that make this satire, they even mention Jessie Pinkman frlm Breaking Bad. And Jack Sheppard if you remember Lost. This article is clearly making fun of people that actually think this would happen. 

most people who smoke it are better dead anyway.
just like me i was a heroine addict and pot lead to that.

If even one person believed this then the daily currant has achieved what they wanted. to get this many people believing, whew.

Ok im new here ,but what is wrong with the op. So after over one thousand years of recorded marijuana use this are the first 37 people to overdose on it? 

And to those saying there is no overdose for weed they are wrong, its nothing serious but there is still one thing considered as a marijuana overdose, a headache dont expect anything more serious than that and its not that common.

Edit: Aaah! Just read some of the comments, for a second i though he was serious. My mistake :s xD.

Yeah, this is a parody. (In other words, it's like The Onion - it's not real news.)

There is no proof of marijuana being the cause of any death.  It is the safest drug on the planet.  Over the counter drugs kill more than 37 people a day.  If weed caused any death then the religious right and fox news would be all over it.

Just a tiny bit more.

"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. A smoker would theoretically have to consume nearly 1,500 pounds of marijuana within about fifteen minutes to induce a lethal response."
