“But somehow only demon alcohol leads to overdose, not pot infused products.”
That’s foolishness. Of course you can overdose on pot products, but you cannot lethally overdose. You can “freak out”, have some psychological effects, maybe even a mental breakdown, I suppose, but you won’t end up dead, no matter how much pot you consume.
On the other hand, chug a fifth and, unless you are lucky, you are likely to have permanent organ damage, at the least.
Apparently there is some level at which you can die from it because that is what this study is tallying, no?
Not the level at which a survivable OD occurs.
3 oz of candy bar vs 3 oz of pure alcohol.
Permanent damage for a first time user drinking a fifth?
Watch Alcohol Madness too many times? One puff/sip is all it takes!
Fatty liver is the earliest stage of liver disease marked by accumulation of fat in the liver cells. This occurs almost in all people who drink heavily...Fatty liver does not cause serious damage to liver function and these changes are reversible if alcohol consumption is stopped.
Continued drinking may lead to more severe involvement called alcoholic hepatitis. About 10 to 35 percent of heavy drinkers develop the condition.... This stage is also reversible and patients may recover completely, provided no further insult occurs with alcohol.
Liver cirrhosis is the more serious form of alcoholic liver disease and is irreversible. At this stage healthy liver tissues are replaced by scar tissues and the liver is not able to perform its normal vital functions.
About 10 to 20 percent of heavy drinkers usually develop cirrhosis after 10 or more years. Generally, drinking 80 grams of ethanol daily for 10 to 20 years is required to develop cirrhosis which corresponds to approximately one liter of wine, eight standard sized beers, or one half pint of hard liquor each day.
