Can I please get a link to any of those 'weed overdose deaths'?

I know we're on the same side of the fence lol, but I'm fairly sure that's still something that hasn't ever happened, officially. As in a acute overdose on THC/CBD; not health complications exacerbated by THC/CBD, some kind of interaction with another drug, or the '1 in a million' reaction someone may have like allergy.

It was more of a related death from memory. Im at work and on my phone so cant really link atm.

I did a quick google of related deaths and everything i read was kinda weak.

haha yeah, depending on who's presenting the statistics and why, "related deaths" can include some poor f**ker blazed beyond belief falling down his stairs and breaking his neck. At the least, it can include medical conditions that arose or were exacerbated from the cannabinoids, resulting in death.

There are definitely "deaths from marijuana", though I suspect the kind of overdose death we usually discuss has either not yet occurred, or was in a very unique situation.

Similarly, without going off topic too much, the death of a party goer whilst in police custody was ruled by the coroner as "LSD toxicity", making it for the purpose of the discussion the first official LSD overdose.

Hasn't taken too long for the courts to call absolute bullshit on that one haha. Again, for the purpose of this discussion, LSD overdose isn't possible.

My point being - just because it was claimed as an overdose, don't be surprised to find out it's complete fabricated bullshit supporting someone's agenda. It happens, as proven by the LSD case.

Amsterdam isn't a country. And yes, almost all ride bicycles. They are quite fit and healthy (junk food is surprising hard to come by there).

But, remember they are also more respectable/responsible (per 1,000 compared to say Sydney).

Still baffles me that cannabis is illegal but you can legally brew alcohol in your backyard/garage.

Colorado is a positive example (apparently drug cartels are losing profits).

Marijuana legalisation hurting cartel profits- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2zTgCVYsDo

Came across this in my youtube travels :) i was not aware that 18 states had legalised for medicinal use.

I don't buy the cartel argument...if they're not making weed, they'll make another drug, probably more harmful, or engage in some other racketeering. They're not gonna say "well guys, we had a good run, it's time to get honest jobs now."

drug cartel's already sell most other drugs, but taking one product off the market for them will hurt profits.

not like their pot head customers who can no longer buy from them are going to go "oh well, no weed bro? give me some crack"

Also in Colorado you can get different strands of weed that give slightly different highs and taste different.

Actually I kind of agree with vanamond, but I'll add this... nature didn't grow it as smokeable bud , nor did nature provide such apparatus as a bong and lighter, so that leaves you with just eating the leaves raw which actually seems to have excellent nutrients, however provides no high...

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
