The Peanut Theory and How It Works

As we all know peanuts are an excellent source of protein. Peanuts and peanut by-products are sold and used everyday across the nation. The problem is that there are approximately 1/4 of a million people (less then 10% of the population) in the USA who are deathly allergic to peanuts. Now that means peanut are not an acceptable option for them, so they have to find an alternative which their body will accept. For our vegetarian friends that will be a little more of a challenge.

So let's look at the products approved under the CSA (Controlled Substance Act) in the same light as peanuts.
First there's alcohol:
1)an estimated 85,000 deaths a year due to alcohol related illness or health problems. (Depending on whose statistics you want to trust)
2)an estimated 35,000 deaths a year due to drunk drivers.
3)an estimated 20,000 injuries a year due to drunk divers.
4)an estimated 100,000 reports of people being mentally and physically abused by someone under the influence of alcohol.
5)the millions of people who are members of AA (The ones smart enough to admit to themselves they have a problem and seek help) Thank you by the way.
Common sense should tell it's not the right choice for some people, and the intelligent thing to do is find an alternative product to consume that is easier to take control of.

Second there's over the counter drugs:
We have an estimated 7,000 deaths a year due to adverse reactions to them, and no telling how many people there are who have found themselves allergic to them. To be honest I haven't explored that just yet.
So again we have another product that's not the right option for all the people.

And lastly we have prescription drugs:
The reports on this are conflicting, the lowest estimate is 35,000 deaths due to error by a patient, I have read (and it's been awhile) in a medical journal there are an estimated 300,000 deaths a year in hospital due to misdiagnoses by physicians that were listed as medical mistakes instead drug related deaths.
So again more products that are not the right choice for everyone, not only that but the doctors who administer these products aren't experts for they will tell you there is no way they can predict how you will react to them. Medical science and compound medicines aren't an exact individual specific science in this day and age.

Then there's cannabis until 1944 it was listed as having medicinal properties in the pharmacological library for minor aches, pains and various illness. There is no evidence proving that consuming it in it's natural form has ever resulted in a death. This doesn't mean it's the right choice for all the people, there are some that cannabis will not be of use to them and it probably causes them problems. Knowing this makes cannabis an unacceptable option for some of the people.

So we know that the products approved by the government isn't the right product for all the people, that makes them an unacceptable product for some people. Now why is it that people have a difficult time understanding this very basic science?

So I wonder how can reasonably intelligent people be expect to believe that consuming marijuana is wrong for everyone?
