One would think that by now the idea of marijuana killing you would have been considered as outright false – except when a politician says so of course. Ricketts, who is the governor of Nebraska held a press conference where he reiterated his position.

“This is a dangerous drug that will impact our kids…if you legalize marijuana, you’re gonna kill your kids…” This was one of the statements dropped during that press conference. It’s quite interesting however if you analyze the subtext of the position.
