So 130 Americans die everyday from opioid overdoses...

And I can still go to my doctor and get them prescribed. But there have been 530 lung related illnesses and 8 deaths from vaping but yet there is a country wide push to ban vaping.


Lobbying folks, it’s a powerful tool of the rich.

Its a solid point. Only difference is big pharmaceutical is making $$$$$ of the pills and the vape is killing those who can be OD'ing on the pills. Its all about keeping them alive to kill them the way that is most financial beneficial

Listen man thousands of people die from cigarette related Illnesses but I can still get a pack of Newport’s from the bodega. Vaping kills 8 and there’s a countrywide freakout and call from President to ban. Gotta question why and motives behind such things.

Pharmaceutical companies and tobacco companies have billions of dollars and lobbyists to influence the elected officials. Vaping is a niche market and they never had time to unite and amass that power. It has nothing to do with life and death or health. It’s only about money.

Its a solid point, just not a 1to1 comparison. I agree with you breh.

Just saying there is a medical use for painkillers but yeah... lobbying matters.

You cannot convince me alcohol is better for you than weed

I fully agree alcohol damages the body and vital organs, weed never will do that.

But with opoids they be giving them out like candy, knowing how addictive it is. Yeah some people need it for surgeries no doubt, but at the same time nobody should be getting 90 pills of 80mg of strong ass opioids unless they literally dying of cancer. They be giving this shyt out for broken limbs with multiple refills for 2-3 months as well. They might as well spark the crack pipe for you pretending to be a gentleman I'd never trust big pharmaceutical companies with managing my pain for me.
