"From 1996 to 2001, the number of deaths related to oxycodone nationwide increased fivefold while the annual number of OxyContin prescriptions increased by nearly 20 times, according to a report by the DEA." Remember LEGAL drug.
Number of overdose deaths from marijuana - ZERO
Pot is illegal because the FDA has not approved smoking it? Moot point I would say.
Ed Bisch of Palm Coast, Fla. "The first time I heard the word OxyContin was when I was told my 18-year-old son died of an overdose."
I'll tell you what DEA dude you go tell Mr. Bisch and the thousands like him
that at least their children were not smoking illegal cannabis.
"There are pictures of deceased kids everywhere,” Peterson said in a phone Interview from Virginia. “People are crying. It is very emotional.”
“They are calling out the names of the dead from a list,” Peterson said.
The list was 52 pages long.
Deadly LEGAL drug use of which OxyContin is only one example clearly shows that the war on marijuana and the persecution of those who enjoy it is immoral.
