Sorry, I should have stated that I agreed with Mike's second paragraph only.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Jeb could be doomed not only due to his family and opinions on immigration, but also to his own involvement in a few nefarious activities (that have been covered up and forgotten by the public for the most part) concerning events during the Iran Contra era. Remember Oliver North, alias John Cathey when appearing as undercover CIA. Suggested reading would include Barry and the Boys by Daniel Hopsicker, as well as Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA by former Air Force Intelligence operative Terry Reed and John Cummings, N.Y. Newsday investigative reporter. All you have to do is Google Barry Seal and George Bush, interesting reading.

You might want to read Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA by Terry Reed (former Air Force Intel operative, Task Force Alpha) and John Cummings (investigative reporter N.Y. Newsday).

It's not necessarily about George Jr., but you'll get the idea.

I remember that, when he said Sadam Hussein tried to kill his father, the real reason he wanted the war. Where were, and where are all the folks upset about George Bush Sr. and presidential hopeful Bill Clinton's lies relating to Whitewater and the CIA Mena, AR drug running operation to support Iran Contra? The information is out there but the politicians rely on the very short memory and mental laziness of many U.S. citizens to continue their lies and illegal conduct.

I have over 40 years of exposure / experience to all age groups using marijuana both by ingestion as well as smoking with no deaths directly related to simple use. Pre-existing mental / medical conditions and prescribed medications treating these conditions certainly could also be involved. The use of ingested marijuana normally results in a delayed and longer period of intoxication, as well as sleep, but not necessarily a more intense type of intoxication similar an overdose of alcohol that would cause one to lose motor functions and bodily control.

By "directly related" do you mean death from ingestion of a large enough quantity of marijuana, or death while under the influence of same while operating i.e., machinery or a vehicle? I believe it is physically impossible to ingest a large enough quantity of marijuana to cause death, but it has been 20+ years since I read that.
