shh, you are going to upset people that think drinking is evil and cutting it has no draw backs

It’s not evil, it’s just bad for you. A 5 mg edible a couple times a month is going to be a way better for someone than drinking multiple times a week.

  I find it so weird to make up a comparison about which is healthier and then have differing frequencies of usage. A 5mg edible a couple times a month is going to be way better for someone than multiple 5mg edibles per week.

No deaths have ever been reported from an overdose on Marijuana [1], and about 10k people a year die from DUI deaths in the US [2]. There is no safe level of alcohol consumption [3] [4]. There is strong evidence alcohol use leads to cancer [5].

  So what's the safe level of driving on Marijuana? If people just switch from one drug to another that's no improvement.

    I do wish that this was something talked about more, I know there have been studies supposedly showing there is not a correlation but that doesn't make any sense to me. I know there have been several times that I have been stoned enough that I would not want to drive. Doesn't mean it should not be legal or anything, but I also don't think we should disregard it.

  >It's impossible to overdose on Marijuana, and about 10k people a year die from DUI deaths in the US. It's definitely possible to overdose on edible marijuana, and it's not even that difficult to do.

    Comment was edited to reflect no reports of death from overdose. You might have an unpleasant experience, but you aren't going to die.
