    Literally classified as a unscheduled drug but people give it a pass cuz ur more “productive”. More people have died from caffeine overdose then weed overdose.

      Sounds like a rectal fact, got a source?

        It’s true, mostly because the LD 50 for THC is like a kg/kg (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK563174/). It’s so astronomical that you would die from many other issues before thc became a concern. Caffeine actually has a pretty low LD 50 even among many illicit drugs, it’s just more widespread so people aren’t incentivized to take hyper-concentrated doses of it.

        I don’t think there’s a single recorded example of someone dying from cannabis overdose in the history of humankind.
