Marijuana, Safer Than Peanuts!

Statistically speaking this is true, no deaths have ever been attributed to marijuana use, while peanuts kill 100 people every single year!  Who knew that peanuts were more of a public health issue than weed?

Annually we can expect:

• 435,000 deaths due to tobacco use
• 365,000 deaths due to poor diet & lack of exercise
• 85,000 deaths due to alcohol
• 32,000 deaths due to prescription drugs
• 26,347 deaths due to motor vehicle injuries
• 20,308 deaths due to homicide
• 7,600 deaths due to aspirin
• 100 death due to peanut allergies
• 0 deaths due to marijuana

Zero deaths expected annually and still this flower is illegal.  Please tell me how that makes sense?
