> Physically perhaps.. Psychologically I'm not so sure.. I mean, they can both give pretty unpleasant experiences when taken in too high a dose. Here's a journalist writing about their experience after eating a cannabis candy bar in Colorado[1]: > I felt a scary shudder go through my body and brain. I barely made it from the desk to the bed, where I lay curled up in a hallucinatory state for the next eight hours. I was thirsty but couldn't move to get water. Or even turn off the lights. I was panting and paranoid, sure that when the room-service waiter knocked and I didn't answer, he'd call the police and have me arrested for being unable to handle my candy. > I strained to remember where I was or even what I was wearing, touching my green corduroy jeans and staring at the exposed-brick wall. As my paranoia deepened, I became convinced that I had died and no one was telling me. I don't think this justifies making psilocybin or marijuana illegal, however. I do think it justifies regulating what products get sold to people (for instance, we'd never allow something that is called hard cider and tastes like hard cider but is 80% alcohol).
