MMJ vs FDA Approved Drugs

    Some charts that can help arguments:

    Deaths from Marijuana v. 17 FDA-Approved Drugs - Medical Marijuana - ProCon.org


    It's all pretty unbias to both sides, which I like. It helps your argument because the lack of bias helps retain facts while not showing you off like a dumbass pothead whos only source is Bob Marley lyrics.

    I'm sorry if you're one of them, but it's very detrimental to the cause when you fit the stereotype of a pothead...

    Yeah,

    Something interesting on that site:
    Marinol is the direct cause of 4 deaths, and the indirect cause of 1 death.

    keep in mind some of these medications that do kill are still pretty necessary because mmj couldnt treat many of the conditions listed.

    regardless, it is proven time and time again that marijuana is for the most part harmless. its political and its economical.

    I disagree with the bolded statement, b/c MJ has been proven to treat many of the conditions listed. In fact, I wouldn't doubt that the authors of the study chose these conditions because MJ has been known to treat the conditions. Otherwise, the study wouldn't be very valid, would it?

    Great find, OP. You should forward it to Granny Storm Crow, to add to her list, if she hasn't found it already. :)

    FDA-Approved Drugs Prescribed in Place of Medical Marijuana

    there is a separate chart there for the ones that mmj could replace. some of them it could not. mmj cannot treat psychosis nearly as efficiently as other drugs. as i stated, it cant treat many of the conditions. however it can treat many of them
