“Just stop.”

Not one for objective give and take of facts are you?

Do you recognize the LD50 of THC? That means, its measured effect of inflicting death.

It simply exists objectively, as a fact.

The two cases in the referenced study, were two young men, who died due to THC use. It happens. The causes of death are cardiac failure, or blood pressure effects.

No doubt that more die at lesser doses, due to the psychoactive effects. As the National Institutes of Health’s Toxicology Data Network puts it (https://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/search/a?dbs+hsdb:@term+@DOCNO+6471): “High doses of delta 9-THC can induce frank hallucinations, delusions, and paranoid feelings. Thinking becomes confused and disorganized; depersonalization and altered time sense are accentuated. Anxiety reaching panic proportions may replace euphoria”, and “With high enough doses, the clinical picture is that of a toxic psychosis with hallucinations, depersonalization, and loss of insight”.

Do you mean to propose that there is no LD50 for THC? Or that there is no risk due to to psychological effects? Just a few moments of web search will easily produce evidence to the contrary from authoritative sources.

If you just want to hear that THC is free of risk, and that CBDs are a panacea, you can find people to tell you that. And you can (obviously) just tell everybody else to “Just stop” and ignore all evidence to the contrary.

It is a common choice made by substance abusers, to rationalize/enable their drug seeking behavior.

Nobody has ever died from it. You’re every bit the hysteric as any other person drunk with the desire to wield power over others.
