    Those who are really trying to safeguard kids should FIRST use their efforts to keep them away from booze and tobacco. Data direct from the  CDC shows that tobacco and alcohol are far more dangerous than cannabis and together directly cause over 500,000 deaths per year in the US each and every year.  This plus another 16,000 traffic fatalities directly caused by alcohol intoxicated drivers. The numbers continues to increase annually.

    US CDC Figures on numbers of deaths per year in the USA:

    *   Prescription Drugs: 237,485 + 5000 traffic fatalities
    *   Tobacco: 390,323
    *   Alcohol: 88,013 + 16,000 traffic fatalities
    *   Cocaine: 4,906
    *   Heroin: 3,365
    *   Aspirin: 466
    *   Acetaminophen (Tylenol):  179
    *   Marijuana: 0, none, not a single fatal overdose in all medical history and almost no traffic problems

    So, which is safer?????  Legalize, regulate and tax!
