The other day the blithering idiot, USF, posted some crappy story about marijuana eaten by kids supposedly resulting in visits to poison control centers. Another nimrod, patriot666, argued that this was a reason to keep marijuana illegal. Would similar effects be a reason to ban caffeinated beverages?

I don't believe this case has much merit and it is more than likely that the boy suffered from some pre-existing condition or was sensitive to caffeine, but caffeine may have played some small role in his death. If we could compare apples to apples here, I would guess caffeine is far more toxic than marijuana. Do the supporters of the prohibition of marijuana support banning caffeine or these lawsuits?
