Chelsea Clinton Claims Marijuana Kills People

Fact checked
Chelsea Clinton has claimed that marijuana kills people

Chelsea Clinton has gone on the record and denounced marijuana as a potentially lethal drug that she says may be killing people who take it for medical purposes. 

Chelsea made a recent appearance at Youngstown State University campaigning for her mother, Hillary Clinton. She told the crowd of students that there are “public health concerns” associated with cannabis consumption due to recent deaths in Colorado.

Hightimes.com reports:

“We also have anecdotal evidence now from Colorado where some of the people who were taking marijuana for those purposes, the coroner believes, after they died, there was drug interactions with other things they were taking,” she said.

Although there is no documented evidence that marijuana has ever contributed to the death of a single human being in the thousands of years it has been used by civilizations across the globe, prohibitionists often dig deep into their sagging bags of propaganda to convince the average citizen that the effects of cannabis can be both devastating and deadly. But this is the first we have heard of marijuana potentially interacting with other drugs and causing people to suffer their untimely demise.

A recent article on InhaleMD indicates that while there can be some minor interactions when consuming cannabis in conjunction with other medications and food, there is no evidence to suggest that these types of concoctions can result in death.

“Cannabis is not known to produce any lethal interactions with other substances, including foods and beverages,” the article reads. “In fact, as natural and synthetic drugs go, cannabis is exceptionally gentle, with negative effects typically limited to: anxiety, dry mouth, increased thirst, [and] sore throat.”

The article, which was penned by Dr. Jordan Tishler, an expert in the field of cannabis medicine, goes on to explain that while marijuana “isn’t physically harmful,” when mixing it with alcohol, antidepressants, antihistamines and muscle relaxants, the stoned effects can be often amplified—giving the user the feeling of being more intoxicated or in a deeper state of relaxation.

But it does not appear that anyone has died as a direct result of mixing marijuana with other drugs, as Clinton seems to have implied in her speech over the weekend.

Using marijuana is combination with other substances is “substantially safer than blending most other types of medications,” the article continues.

Chelsea Clinton did, however, take the opportunity to reiterate her mother’s stance on states’ rights and the pursuit of more medical marijuana research. But, her comments, once again, seemed to imply that marijuana could be what the federal government claims—a dangerous drug.

“We just need so much more data than we have so that people who might benefit have the chance to benefit, people who might be in danger are protected,” Clinton said. “So absolutely, my mom strongly supports the need for more rigorous study and then subjecting it, as we do kind of everything else that might have a medicinal purpose, to FDA approval, scrutiny and ultimately regulation.”

Hillary Clinton has said throughout the majority of her campaign that she plans to remove cannabis from its Schedule I listing if she is elected into the presidency this November.

  1. I got a chance to earn well through trading even if I am still a student. Just Google Superior Trading System to learn how I did it.
     

  2. Another Clinton LIE!  The people of the USA are getting stupefied more and more with their dem/lib media ruining the morals of everyday citizens!  CLINTON FOR PRISON 2016 

  3. There have been automobile accidents in Colorado where the dead driver was high on marijuana.  Compare that to traffic deaths where the driver was not high on marijuana and you can conclude that “not smoking marijuana kills”.

  4. I’m 73 and I began smoking weed 48 years ago. I have no health problems..can’t recall when I was sick last. Chelsea..go stick your head in a bucket of water 3 times and take it out twice.

  5. Reminder, please look up what words mean.

    “Anecdotal evidence is evidence from anecdotes. Where only one or a few anecdotes are presented, there is a larger chance that they may be unreliable due to cherry-picked or otherwise non-representative samples of typical cases.”

    She is obviously not on board with the coroner and she referenced the coroner after bringing up anecdotal evidence.

    Gafc peeps and focus your disappointment and rage elsewhere, lol.

    • I know what “anecdotal evidence” means.  It is of no value when evaluating something like marijuana’s potential for harm.  She shouldn’t even bring it up, yet she does.  By mentioning it, apparently unprompted, she gives it validity it does not deserve.  She also does not distance herself from the coroner’s comments, at least not in the quotes in the article.

      Focus your condescension elsewhere.

  6. Well, there have been studies that have shown that marijuana can get rid of several types of cancer, so obviously this clinton mouthpiece is afraid it might cut into some of the profits of big pharma. She’s a creepy as her monstrous parents.

  7. How can a person BE THIS STUPID as   Chelsea  Clinton?
    Did she not get any education. Does or did she not talk to her parents during she grew up?

    How can she be this stupid?

  8. I have been smoking for 3 years and no health problems. Before smoking weed my hands where shaking like when i holded a cup or something. But now its going only better 🙂

  9. Nah, Chelsi, weed does not kill people. You need to study up on the subject matter before you go on the record. Marijuana has never killed anyone. 

  10. Honey your mis informed scientists can not even get lab rats to die from it its non toxic,  its not even a carcinogen  its safer than almost everything,  you would die from 1 oz , of eating salt , and you could eat a lb of weed and not die

  11. Where did you get your Ph.D Chealsea? What’s that? You’re not a doctor? A scientist perhaps? Oh, that’s right, you’re just a privileged rich kid.

  12. IT HAS NEVER KILLED ONE SOUL EVER,YOU ARE SO BATSHIT CRAZY
    OUGHT TO BE LOCKED UP WITH THOSE FAKE PARENTS OF YOURS
