Delivered. I can probably find a better paper when on a computer not a blackberry.
It's a really wonderful site. SAFER envisions a society where they can get their hands on marijuana. Even if it means fabricating data and blatantly lying to people with their half-baked statistics and lack of a moral spine. The first thing we see on this wonderful website is a graph. Now to the average Joe, when you have a graph, you're really rolling in the dough. Having a graph means you have to be legit. After all, how many people have time to go on excel and slap a bunch of numbers to form a bar graph. I certainly don't. Yet someone who was probably high at the time had the audacity to not only make a graph, but to link it to a 1994 New York Times article that sets up the parameters for how to define such factors. When it comes to actual numbers, the article doesn't really elaborate on how to judge nicotine or compare it other conventional uses of "I can't handle the pressures of life" products. So SAFER decided to slap on the numbers themselves. Thanks SAFER! Also they cleverly sneak in the article at the end of that section making the reader believe that the NY times article actually does incoporate those numbers into the graph. Those clever sons of bitches.
But I digress. One mistake isn't enough to be so condescending. Let's look at the second group of statistics that SAFER gives us in order to inform us how much SAFER weed is than other alternatives: in 2001, there were 331 alcohol overdose deaths and 0 marijuana overdose deaths. Source: U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC). SAFER this time gives us government information. Wow SAFER. First the New York Times and now the Center for Disease Control. Very fucking impressive. Except for the fact that this government webpage also has no mention of marijuana or weed either. SAFER why do you lie to us and attempt to fabricate data to push your own agenda. Is it because there are no legitimate arguments to back up your opinion, or are you too busy getting high to do things the right way, instead of blatantly lying to a portion of the world that is not as hopelessly idiotic as you want them to be.
