> Syndros, that does have the potential for overdose[2]. False. Syndros is delta-9-THC.

  Thanks Dwight, you appear to be right. The overdose is similar to too much weed: lethargy, decreased motor coordination, slurred speech, and postural hypotension. Non fatal overdoses have occurred and only one was a death from delta-9 but it was probably related to another condition (in other tests of dronabinol not Syndros specifically -- we'll find out about Syndros soon). Even synthetic THC is safer than opioids, alcohol and many other things. In my opinion natural cannabis is safer than the pharma synthetics. So why is the natural THC in cannabis Schedule I and this drug Schedule II? Beyond that, the really hypocritical thing about it is that Insys wants to keep legal cannabis away but push their synthetics. That can't be something you agree with unless you are bought in. I don't really care if synthetic THC is out there, but if it is, so should natural THC in cannabis. If both are completely safe, they should at least be same level classified or not on the crooked and legacy DEA controlled substances list at all, especially if they have medical value which they do.

    Of course I think Insys are a bunch of crooks, just wanted to be accurate. I'm guessing the reason people say you can "overdose" for Syndros is because they're required to specify some arbitrary limit. Just like how storebought honey has an expiration date attached, even though honey never expires. I suppose it's also easier to take too much, if it comes as a concentrated syrup. But the same thing happens with edibles.
