Saying cannabis is safer than caffeine simply reveals your personal biases.
Cannabis is less harmful than alcohol but its users dramatically underplay its side effects. Caffeine is only bad for sleep, or in extreme doses.
- delecti 3y agoCannabis is not physiologically addictive, and an overdose is both tough to manage and only really results in nausea and can be safely slept off. Caffeine is physiologically addictive, not that hard to overdose on, and can be dangerous to quit cold-turkey. I don't think either substance is "dangerous", but caffeine is definitely closer to dangerous than cannabis. I also wouldn't say I'm biased against either; I'm a big fan of both substances. I drink coffee about daily and use cannabis about weekly.
- bagacrap 3y agoHow many cups of coffee does it take to od on caffeine? I'm going to go out on a limb and say cannabis + driving kills more people per year than caffeine (via overdose or whatever). Therefore cannabis is more dangerous.
