A chart below from the back cover of the March, 1995 edition of "The Emperor Wears No
Clothes: Hemp & the Marijuana Conspiracy," by Jack Herer. Please use a
fixed-width/monospace/monotype font such as Courier, Monaco, etc. so that the chart
columns line up better. Quote begins:
---
NUMBER OF AMERICAN DEATHS PER YEAR that result directly or primarily from the following selected causes nationwide, according to World Almanacs, Life Insurance Actuarial (death) Rates, and the last 20 years of U.S. Surgeon Generals' reports. (Figures are for 1994 from the federal government's Bureau of Mortality Statistics and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, et al.--the last complete year at the time of this writing.)

LOWEST TOXICITY.
100% of the studies done at dozens of American universities and research facilities show
pot toxicity does not exist. Medical history does not record anyone dying from an overdose
of marijuana (UCLA, Harvard, Temple, etc.).
