    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.

        also if people use chemical fertilizers to grow it, that can pass through to you
