I think that was the number. Headline said 32 people died of pot overdoses the first day of sales. Even though this was on the Daily Currant, which is equivalent to The Onion, I bet a lot of right wingers were thrilled to hear it.
George Carlin, years ago, said that the most heinous crime ever recorded as a result of smoking dope was 'theft of roommate's chocolate chip cookies.'
