But marijuana is the only painkiller I know of that

in most states, even for cancer patients in agony. But
Aspirin is legal and that can kill you,
So can table salt. "The dose makes the poison." - Paracelsus
Except precisely cannabis and salvia divinorum. They are less
dangerous than water (2000 death by overdose of water!). With cannabis
and salvia, the lethal dose does not exist, or you die by being
injected to much material. Yes, if you got one ton of compact cannabis
on the head, you die.
and Oxycodone is legal too and if the pain is too strong
for Aspirin the law encourages you to switch to that or
some other opioid which is projected to kill 500,000
Americans in the next decade .
And air pollution, mostly from fossil fuel extraction and burning,
is projected to kill 2 million.

I have heard at the radio and read in some newspaper that pollution
would have killed 9 million of people just for the year 2015.
And pollution coming from fossil extraction would be less severe if
cannabis did not have been made illegal. Both Diesel and Ford conceive
their first engine using bio-fuel, and notably hemp.
The free-market would have regulated such problem, if .. its was not
made impossible by prohibition.
