This is only completely true for chemical drugs, like crack, cocaine, heroin, meth, etc. Those are very artificial, are horrible for you in many ways, and will kill you if taken enough. Stuff like mushrooms, lsd and ecstasy or mdma are still bad for you, and could surely ruin the life of someone susceptible to drug addiction, but probably won't kill you or do any serious permanent damage. Then there's marijuana. It's a natural plant with no toxic chemicals in it, nothing that can kill or harm you in any way, barring an allergic reaction of some sort. Like anything smoked, it will damage your lungs, like cigarettes, or dried kale. If you inhale the smoke byproduct of any burning object, it will damage your lungs. Know why? Cause lungs don't like smoke of any kind. Use a vaporizer instead. Then there's alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine. The legal ones, with some age restriction. Everyone knows that cigarettes kill many people daily. Few know that marijuana has caused zero deaths in history.
No direct marijuana deaths. IIRC there may be some circumstances which may be exaggerated by marijuana and/or chemicals found in it which may be fatal.

YES! I had a debate in government class and I was for legalization of marijuana. I loved fact-blasting every single argument the opposition had! (We won) for example, the opposition said that marijuana use lowers sperm count. I said that Bob Marley has eleven official children. I loved it :D
Well I did indeed write that list. But it was just a generalization. Purely for humor. Im aware weed is not an illicit drug. (I knew someone would comment about weed ;) ) Hell ive smoked weed lots. I was infact indicating "snorting" drugs as pixie sticks in a line on a table looks like crack. I guess it all depends on your definition of a drug :) i am refering to illicit drugs
A drug is anything that alters your body chemistry. Any drug can be dangerous to the right person, some drugs are dangerous to everyone. Hell, there are some people allergic to amino acids, the basics of proteins and thus life (and why we have phenylalanine warnings on gum packs)
I watched two kids snort Sour Patch Kids sugar... I don't think I've ever laughed that hard, or ever will.

I once knew a guy that shaved off his eyebrows and dyed his pubic hair blue under the influence of something. He tried to show us on the bus to school. Nope!
