Thankfully, there were no face-eating deaths that can be ascribed to this wholly forseeable tragedy of legalized marijuana.

wow not surprised though and wont be surprised of the future crap glad its not being taken serious though. worst case scenario if this was taken serious by CO they make it illegal again and everyone's surplus of dank buds skyrockets (thumbs up).

I fucking told you some muppet would take it seriously
cut and pasted from the Guardian.

""Sweden's justice minister is facing ridicule for posting a spoof article about marijuana-linked deaths on her Facebook page along with comments about her zero-tolerance against drugs.

Beatrice Ask of Sweden's ruling Conservative party posted a link to the Daily Currant's satire article, which jokingly – and erroneously – claimed that marijuana overdoses killed 37 people in Colorado on the first day of legalisation.

Above the link she wrote: "Stupid and sad. My first bill in the youth wing was called Outfight the Drugs! In this matter I haven't changed opinion at all."

The comment quickly spread in social media, triggering widespread criticism.

Ask's press officer Per Clareus said the minister was aware the article was fake and was trying to criticise the website for joking about such a serious matter, but was misunderstood.""

Yeah, she was misunderstood, and was totally not stupid enough to take a satirical piece seriously.

Volvo cars
Sandvik tooling
Ericsson phones
Bofors weapons systems
Saab aerospace
Scania trucks
Dynamit nobel explosives


Mostly industry leaders with the highest reputation.

Unfortunately they are also responsible for Abba , Ikea tat and a liquid atrocity called Carlsberg lager.

The horror . . .

Carlsberg is Danish. Not worth supping, unless it's the good old tramp juice in the gold can....

well at first sight I was like wtf!? While reading what the claimed 'victims' were dying from I recongnized this:
Trimethylaminuria (TMAU), also known as fish odor syndrome or fish malodor syndrome,[1] is a rare metabolic disorder that causes a defect in the normal production of the enzyme flavin containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3).[2][3] When FMO3 is not working correctly or if not enough enzyme is produced, the body loses the ability to properly convert trimethylamine (TMA) from precursor compounds in food digestion into trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) through a process called N-oxygenation. Trimethylamine then builds up and is released in the person's sweat, urine, and breath, giving off a strong fishy odor or strong body odor.

To be honest I really didnt think it was funny. A different variety of propaganda to identify those who would regurgitate this to others. The headline pulled me in but the onion smelled of bs soon as it started.

Joke is on us,

FE
