Holy Cow indeed.
Marijuana overdoses kill what? Maybe 2 people per year?
Meanwhile legal Opioids kill 50,000.
Legal drinking is even worse: “Drinking too much can harm your health. Excessive alcohol use led to approximately 88,000 deaths and 2.5 million years of potential life lost (YPLL) each year in the United States from 2006 – 2010, shortening the lives of those who died by an average of 30 years.” Also: “Every day, 29 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. This is one death every 50 minutes. The annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $44 billion.”
“Marijuana overdoses kill what? Maybe 2 people per year?”
The number is zero as a direct result of overdose.
For all years.
Your number might be correct for indirect result of overdoses, like freaking out and jumping out of a moving car etc.
