It’s no secret that the common cold has the potential to be a killer for certain people. It can also lead to all manner of accidents and incidents that can also prove deadly. However, in this particular instance we are talking about the temperature itself, rather than a medical condition. Estimates show that somewhere in the region of 1300 people die every year in the USA due to exposure to dangerously cold temperatures. Some get drunk and go out in the cold without enough clothing on, while others tragically simply cannot afford to heat their homes sufficiently. But still, cannabis is clearly a more dangerous and pressing issue, which is precisely why it gets so much more attention when it comes to lawmakers.
