Can I please get a link to any of those 'weed overdose deaths'?

I know we're on the same side of the fence lol, but I'm fairly sure that's still something that hasn't ever happened, officially. As in a acute overdose on THC/CBD; not health complications exacerbated by THC/CBD, some kind of interaction with another drug, or the '1 in a million' reaction someone may have like allergy.

It was more of a related death from memory. Im at work and on my phone so cant really link atm.

I did a quick google of related deaths and everything i read was kinda weak.

haha yeah, depending on who's presenting the statistics and why, "related deaths" can include some poor f**ker blazed beyond belief falling down his stairs and breaking his neck. At the least, it can include medical conditions that arose or were exacerbated from the cannabinoids, resulting in death.

There are definitely "deaths from marijuana", though I suspect the kind of overdose death we usually discuss has either not yet occurred, or was in a very unique situation.

Similarly, without going off topic too much, the death of a party goer whilst in police custody was ruled by the coroner as "LSD toxicity", making it for the purpose of the discussion the first official LSD overdose.

Hasn't taken too long for the courts to call absolute bullshit on that one haha. Again, for the purpose of this discussion, LSD overdose isn't possible.

My point being - just because it was claimed as an overdose, don't be surprised to find out it's complete fabricated bullshit supporting someone's agenda. It happens, as proven by the LSD case.

Amsterdam isn't a country. And yes, almost all ride bicycles. They are quite fit and healthy (junk food is surprising hard to come by there).

But, remember they are also more respectable/responsible (per 1,000 compared to say Sydney).

Still baffles me that cannabis is illegal but you can legally brew alcohol in your backyard/garage.

Colorado is a positive example (apparently drug cartels are losing profits).

Marijuana legalisation hurting cartel profits- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2zTgCVYsDo

Came across this in my youtube travels :) i was not aware that 18 states had legalised for medicinal use.

Along with this article - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/marijuana-legalisation-in-us-dents-drug-cartel-profits-a6920176.html

I don't buy the cartel argument...if they're not making weed, they'll make another drug, probably more harmful, or engage in some other racketeering. They're not gonna say "well guys, we had a good run, it's time to get honest jobs now."

drug cartel's already sell most other drugs, but taking one product off the market for them will hurt profits.

not like their pot head customers who can no longer buy from them are going to go "oh well, no weed bro? give me some crack"

Also in Colorado you can get different strands of weed that give slightly different highs and taste different.

Actually I kind of agree with vanamond, but I'll add this... nature didn't grow it as smokeable bud , nor did nature provide such apparatus as a bong and lighter, so that leaves you with just eating the leaves raw which actually seems to have excellent nutrients, however provides no high...

      This, honestly, is entirely BMW life. There's so many little things that once you know about you are either more relaxed or more uptight! 馃ぃ Fwiw (and slightly in my defence) our X5 has been flawless! The biggest issue we've had was problems with the front diff which ended up with a 2k rebuild but other than regular servicing with good oil and filters we've had no out of the ordinary costs or problems. it's been amazing and we've put 90k on it over about 5 years.  It's just the other two. The problem kids.

      The more I think about it, the more I should probably go with a genuine Bride seat and rail set up. But damn the $$$ for a driver and passenger seat + rails!

      From what I understand, stock internals should hold out for a while even if you run 500 at the crank, no? Especially if you don't run a modern turbo setup that reaches power and torque much earlier than the original twins. My engine isn't unopened either, it has N1 Pumps, head oil restrictor, new crank and cams, new piston rings, ARP head studs and Cometic headgasket along with 2860-5s. Considering everything is healthy this should run fine for a while I assume. Once my engine stops leaking shit everywhere, it'll be tuned to 370 crank first anyway, because I need to legalize the turbo setup. If I end up needing a new engine because my block actually has an issue, even though GTSboy was adamant that the whole porous block story is nonsense, before putting an engine in I'm probably gonna take care of the weakspots.

      Hah, I have no issues with what you are doing whatsoever! You clearly know what you are getting yourself into. It's just funny reading things like this. "What's that noise?" "Oh, that's normal. That's just the engine not getting any oil. Nothing to worry about. It'll go away in a moment"
