Firstly, how can you die from cannabis? It’s extremely non-toxic. There has never been a single documented case of fatal cannabis overdose. Also, the government’s own figures don’t tally. While drug figures from the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2009/nov/02/causes-of-death-mortality-rates" target="_blank">Office Of National Statistics</a> register 19 cannabis related deaths, the mortality stats from the same office log only 1 death.</p> </blockquote> <p>You can view the raw data used to compile this inforgraphic <a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AmCeWwNKr6FmdFpIakQ2dTlNZUN5bU9aM3pqUlQ0Tmc&hl=en" target="_blank">here</a>.[<a href="http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/2009/visualising-the-guardian-datablog/" target="_blank">via</a>.]</p> </blockquote> </blockquote>http://ryanhedger.tumblr.com/post/235294782http://ryanhedger.tumblr.com/post/235294782Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:48:10 -0600I just had a fantastic conversation with a stranger.

Also, the DVD of their Zoo Amphitheater is quite amazing, but not as amazing as it was to see it in person.
