    Seems pretty telling the stats showing that illicit drugs are causing far less deaths then alcohol and tobacco.

    1 was deaths and the other was hospitilization. How did you draw your conclusions?

    IN BC? Ridens telling us they are handing it out by the bucket in Vancouver and BC buds like Sask wheat.

    :oops:

    Still, I'd like to know how they drew that conclusion from their data unless they just phrased it poorly.

    Still, the study is flawed because it lumps all illicit drugs in 1 group when in fact some drugs are far worse then others and some drugs are far better then tobacco and alcohol.

    Perhaps the drug stats would be much better if we subjected them to the same manufacture standards as tobacco and alcohol. :)

    Goodnight for now.

    Well, here's to every province drinking, smoking, drugging themselves. What makes you so special? I live in Sask and I can't start a conversation with anybody without the first words saying" Do you smoke weed"?....and the ever lasting friendship that starts has to do with a yes or a no or you are a loser. Take your drugs and ship it back to China or where-ever. B.C bud? Sask dry shit takes your lungs out.

    Not much separation between the two in my experience. You do one, you do both.

    if you write out those 'ideas', you'll find that they aren't so profound when you read them sober.....if you can make heads or tails of them that is.
