"Teen Dies Smoking Marijuana" – Actually, He Was Killed By Prohibitionist Propaganda.

January 26, 1999

Teen Dies Smoking Marijuana - (SALEM) -- An 18-year-old Keizer youth has died after inhaling butane fumes while trying to enhance a marijuana high. Salem police say the teen died in a motel which had been rented by several of his friends. They planned an evening of smoking pot. A second person also required medical attention. The Marion County district attorney is investigating the death to see if criminal charges are warranted.

(Marijuananews note: When I did a search on Yahoo news for "marijuana" the headline "Teen Dies Smoking Marijuana" popped up. Obviously, I could not resist. Of course, what really killed him was not illegal marijuana, which has no lethal dose, but perfectly legal butane.

More precisely, butane was the proximate cause.

The real cause was "drug education" that is really prohibitionist propaganda that lies to kids about marijuana so much that they don’t believe anything that they are told about "drugs" that are far more dangerous, like inhalants. Think about the meaning of the word "drug" when more kids are using inhalants than marijuana.

The prohibitionists say that making marijuana legal would "send the wrong message" that marijuana is "harmless." Like perfectly legal butane?
