In all honesty, my goal is to be divorced from reality. That shit kinda sucks!

Am I the only one who takes some issue with tokers being portrayed as divorced from reality? You’re a lot more likely to do those kinds of things under the influence of alcohol than thc.

it’s kinda a trope going back to 60s but even further to reafer madness and basically it nickname is a slur on Mexicans. Alcohol has for sure made people do way more stupid shit and too much will kill you. there’s probably only been a small handful of people that have died from consumption of cannabis.
it’s propaganda that weed makes you stupid. it does mess with your short term memory and it does affect your behavior. and anything smoking related is unhealthy but fucking a, you are absolutely correct

My understanding is its impossible to overdose but if you smoke so much you get no oxygen, then you can die from that? Its one of the safest chemicals when it comes to dose limits, even chocolate is more dangerous in that respect.

I have read that it can cause lung cancers in those that are susceptible that don’t make themself apparent as being caused by cannabis the safeness of it comes from the fact that to OD on it you have to consume sooo much in a short period that basically you would fall asleep before you can even come close to the deadly dose.

The real question is what do these extracts mean for the effects it has. Processing is getting more involved in the legal markets.

You could theoretically die of carbon monoxide poisoning from smoking too much cannabis, but you could just as easily die of carbon monoxide poisoning by smoking too much of any other plant matter

I’m only more likely to do something like this when high because I’m already likely to do something like this when not high.

The better version of this meme has more hippie rainbow colours and goes with acid instead of weed (which is still not actually realistic, but is a lot funnier)

More or less, yeah.
Wandering around in the dark drunk off your ass more likely ends in a goat rescuing you.
