@BankrollzBrendo carts are better than flower and if you disagree you're a masochist that thinks every one else should suffer just because you choose to suffer
Grok, there are 480,000 tobacco deaths a year in the USA. None are from OD's. In your opinion, does that make it "safe"? Cannabis is associated with a number of cancers. Its too soon to declare cannabis safer. The latency period for cancers can be 10 to 30 years. Cannabis has been commercialized fairly recently. Lung cancer was rare until tobacco was commercialized. Cannabis has caused heart related deaths just like tobacco. Saying there are no deaths from cannabis is false. "At least eight deaths related to CHS have been reported in the United States" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabino… Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (n = 87, 2.8%) emerged from 2015. Deaths accounted for 0.2% of all AEs (4 men and 3 women aged on average 35
Conclusion: This study showed a multitude of AEs related to recreational cannabis use, including unexpected AEs and deaths. It highlights the problem of dependence and the emergence of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome.

The present case series describes three young men who died suddenly and unexpectedly, in whom forensic autopsy and subsequent investigations excluded traumatic, infectious, coronary, and congenital causes of death. In all cases, histological examination revealed a polymorphic myocardial picture characterized by interstitial edema, fiber segmentation, and myocytolysis, consistent with arrhythmic sudden cardiac death. Toxicological analyses confirmed the presence of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in blood and urine, thus supporting a temporal and causal relationship between cannabis consumption and the fatal arrhythmic events.

This case series describes three young adults who died suddenly in the absence of significant pathological history, with autopsy, histological, and toxicological investigations converging toward cannabis-related cardiac arrhythmogenesis. The systematic integration of our findings with current evidence reinforces the role of cannabinoids in modulating cardiovascular function through CB1 receptor activation on vascular endothelium and cardiomyocytes, promoting vasospasm, reduced coronary reserve, and arrhythmic vulnerability [8,9,10,11]. Chronic exposure, particularly in smokers, has further been associated with endothelial dysfunction and a pro-thrombotic state, amplifying the risk of myocardial ischemia and sudden death [12,13,14].
mdpi.com/2673-6756/5/4/… This case is unique in that other possible causes of death can be eliminated. With growing use of marijuana by pregnant women and increases in newborn drug screening of umbilical cord homogenate, more cases of neonatal death due to acute marijuana toxicity could be discovered.
The positive finding of marijuana in the umbilical cord provided evidence of maternal high-dose marijuana use in late pregnancy. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Infant Death due to Cannabis Ingestion
In most cases, these are adults suffering from preexisting conditions, whereas data on younger individuals are still scarce. In this paper, the case of a child who died from acute intoxication due to ingestion of hashish is presented.

Pediatric Death Due to Myocarditis After Exposure to Cannabis
The authors report an 11-month-old male who, following cannabis exposure, presented with central nervous system depression after seizure, and progressed to cardiac arrest and died.

Cannabis use is closely and causally associated with ‘ Testicular Cancer Rates across both time and space and higher in States with liberal cannabis legislation.

“Propagandizing the public proved successful, judging from secret tobacco industry measurements of the impact of denialist propaganda”
Lung cancer was once a very rare disease, so rare that doctors took special notice when confronted with a case, thinking it a once-in-a-lifetime oddity. Mechanization and mass marketing towards the end of the 19th century popularized the cigarette habit, however, causing a global lung cancer epidemic. Cigarettes were recognized as the cause of the epidemic in the 1940s and 1950s, with the confluence of studies from epidemiology, animal experiments, cellular pathology and chemical analytics. Cigarette manufacturers disputed this evidence, as part of an orchestrated conspiracy to salvage cigarette sales.
