A serious study might be problematic and I can give an example. The first automobile caused death after WA legalized pot, by a driver heavily intoxicated by pot, was listed as the pedestrians fault. The authorities said the pedestrian would have been hit even if the driver had not been under the influence of pot. The driver was not even cited for being intoxicated. That way it would not show up as a statistic.
One statistic they couldn’t hide was the increased number of infants and small children showing up in the ER with pot overdoses.
“One statistic they couldn’t hide was the increased number of infants and small children showing up in the ER with pot overdoses.”
I was talking about that with an ER nurse just the other day. According to her, this is true, but the “overdose” seems to be just a period of severe nausea.
A heroin, meth, or cocaine overdose can kill you. An aspirin, Tylenol, or ibuprofen overdose can kill you.
I think some people are trying to create the impression that a pot “overdose” is in some way similar to a real overdose.
