Chart Supporting my Topic

I feel like this chart is pretty self-explanatory to the fact that marijuana smoking, in fact, does NOT kill. This chart was actually made by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which was the same program that has emphasized over and over again that this sort of topic needs more research, despite of what information that scientists have given to them. If you look a few cells above marijuana, alcohol has 23,199 deaths total that year, and that drug is LEGAL. Yes, alcohol is considered a drug, because a drug is defined as any article, other than food, intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of humans or other animals. Alcohol affects your brain, your liver, and other vital organs, so it is considered a legal drug. Motor accidents are also shown on here, with the death toll being 36,284. Most accidents are due to drunk driving, so alcohol can also have a big play in that as well. How can this be acceptable when marijuana is not? If it doesn’t kill, can give people medical benefits, AND it is the fastest growing cash crop in the United States, then what’s the problem officer?
