remember, you started this as a comparison of the relative dangers of cannabis vs. lsd or mdma. stay focused. you tried to make a point and I disagreed with it. accusing me of spinning is disengenuous.
are you really going to start talking about "easily overdosed" when the drugs you're comparing it to are lsd (active in the microgram range) and mdma (active in the milligram range)?
seriously, you feel like you can get away with claiming that cannabis is more dangerous than a drug that most people encounter as mystery pills at a party? get real.
You are of course completely correct. But given one hit of acid vs one hit of a cannabis brownie, people are more weary of the hit of acid and tend to subdivide it into pieces whereas novices typically trust cannabis brownies to be weak or they eat multiple of them and receive an overwhelming dose more often than not. Or maybe not. Your thoughts?
my thoughts are that cannabis is remarkably safe in general, but that everyone using it should be well informed and not be taking edibles that they don't know the content of.
in legal states you can buy properly labeled edibles at a shop. if it's homemade stuff, you really have to be a lot more careful. either make it yourself or really trust your supplier. personally I would never take edibles bought from a dealer unlabeled. that's a real risk of an uncomfortable experience.
I think smoking (or vaping if you're sensitive to the smoke) is by far the safest and most effective way to take cannabis though.
LSD and MDMA there are really no safety tips that can possibly help. you either trust your source or you don't. if you trust your source and follow the dosage guidelines it's fine. both of those drugs are very safe at appropriate doses.
No matter how you spin this one, you have to be careful with whatever road you choose to go down.
