This one did the averages and it's on the drug enforcement agency's website. Got anything to counter that?
You are using that graph to show that tobacco and alcohol are more deadly than E. The problem with the graph is that it's vague.
Case in point: How are people dying from E? Keel-over-and-die or long-term medical problems? Smoking doesn't kill you instantly, and it took us decades to be able to trace the adverse health effects back to them. How many studies on E have been done for long-term health? How many subjects are available?
Don't answer those questions. I don't care. I'm not asking them because I want you to debate me on how deadly E is. I'm just trying to prove a point that you can make graphs and statistics say anything you want.
QUOTEYeah - obviously if more people were using illegal drugs more deaths would be caused by them. My point is that legal drugs can be dangerous as well as illegal ones. How many campaigns that warn against legal drug use have you seen? There's none. As soon as kids start school they get it drilled into them that illegal drugs are bad but no information is given to warn against the use of legal ones. I'm just saying they should warn against ALL drugs..not just the illegal ones.Â
Interesting... You're in Australia, right? Things are different in the USA. We are taught that smoking and drinking are just as bad as shooting up or having unprotected sex. They drill it into us. I'm well out of school, and I'm still getting it drilled into me! They focus more on alcohol than on smoking in school, but there are huge forces working to ban smoking in public places.
