Mixing marijuana with other drugs is becoming so routine that \u201cdrugged and stoned\u201d is a new normal.\u00a0 When Pennsylvania college student Garet Schenker of Bloomsburg University recently died, it was the combination of marijuana wax and Xanax that killed him.\u00a0\u00a0 References to\u00a0 his death and the toxicology report have been removed from the Internet.\u00a0 Just because another person didn\u2019t die\u00a0 from doing\u00a0 \u201cdabs\u201d and mixing it with Xanax doesn\u2019t mean we shouldn\u2019t warn our children of this dangerous practice. Justin Bondi, one of the young men who died in Colorado last year, was a hiker and adventurer who also mixed marijuana with Xanax and other drugs.\u00a0\u00a0 In fact, marijuana users have such an affinity for Xanax that doctors should be questioning patients about marijuana use\u00a0 and wonder if marijuana is the primary cause of the anxiety. The addiction-for-profit industry, i.e., the marijuana industry, is trying every tactic imaginable to promote drug usage.\u00a0 The current propaganda that pretends marijuana is treatment to opiate abuse is EVIL.\u00a0 We condemn those shameless promoters who encourage people to use marijuana based on the theory that it doesn\u2019t cause toxic overdose deaths.\u00a0\u00a0 Recent deaths have put a dent into that theory, however.\u00a0\u00a0 In Seattle, Hamza Warsame jumped six stories to his death, after he the first time he tried marijuana in December, 2015. Drugged and Stoned Many marijuana driving fatalities are caused by drivers on a cocktail of drugs in addition to pot.\u00a0 The driver that killed two and injured several others in Santa Cruz had marijuana and an unnamed prescription drug.\u00a0 The driver responsible for a 3-car crash in Indiana had marijuana, Xanax and drug paraphernalia on him.<\/p>\n<p>Demolished building in Philadelphia, July, 2013. A crane operator was impaired from mixing marijuana with codeine. Six died and 13 were injured in the accident. Photo: AP\u00a0 A crane operator in Philadelphia killed 6 people while high on marijuana and a codeine painkiller pill, in July 2013.\u00a0 This accident highlights the inability to see accurate perception of depth when stoned.\u00a0 The crane operator hit the wall of the Salvation Army thrift store next to the\u00a0 building he was demolishing. He had no intention to harm people.\u00a0 Operating any type of heavy machinery under the influence of drugs puts all of us in danger. Diane Schuler\u00a0 The worst car accident by a driver in recent memory was caused by a driver who used both marijuana and alcohol.\u00a0 Driver Diane Schuler killed 8, including 5 children, in the Taconic State Parkway crash in New York on July 26, 2009.\u00a0\u00a0 It appears that the driver was in pain.\u00a0 Schuler, three of her nieces, her 2-year old daughter and three men in the oncoming minivan died.\u00a0\u00a0 Schuler used marijuana regularly to deal with insomnia.\u00a0 (Insomnia is a condition promoted by medi-pot advocates.)\u00a0 Marijuana lobbyists try to portray marijuana customers as single drug users.\u00a0 This is an entirely false characterization.\u00a0\u00a0 Multi-substance addiction is the norm today.\u00a0\u00a0 STOP THE LIES!
