OK so you are a stoner.....
I need to test the quality of what you are smoking.
Please post me at least a quarter.

TheChineseChicken This is a difficult one. What's for certain is that the tobacco some weed smokers mix it with (makes no sense to mix a stimulant to something that can cause panic attacks in some people but I digress) is much more likely to cause lung cancer than cannabis. Eating the drug as in marijuana brownies would remove any cancer risk.

I'm wrong, 3.3 million deaths every year are attributed to alcohol not tens of thousands: www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohol-health/overview-alcohol-consumption/alcohol-facts-and-statistics.

It is impossible to overdose on cannabis, alcohol's toxic dose for someone without tolerance is only 4* the drink driving limit. Cannabis can possible worsen mental health for people with pre-existing conditions, but even then it's nowhere near as clear-cut as you might believe.

Lung cancer?

BratFarrarsPony · 08/11/2016 17:48

do you have a link to a study that there are 0 cannabis deaths a year? and 'tens of thousands' of alcohol deaths? or did you just make it up?
Possibly cannabis does not kill directly but what about road deaths and what about mental health?
"Discuss" - my arse - are you a teacher?
