I thinks something that is overlooked when taking this death tole into account is the deaths of those who have been denied proper available medical care. How many people have died just from being denied cannabis alone? We need to face the reality that anything that happens in the health industry is really the fault of government, who has (wrongfully) been given the power to regulate health related industries.

The blood is on the hands of the politicians as much as the corporations. If all is truly taken into perspective, governments are the main cause of death on the face of the earth.

Thanks for the great post @newtreehints!
