Is Cannabis Toxic?


Has Anyone Ever Died From a Cannabis Overdose?

No; not even once. Throughout all history and at all times. It is physically impossible to consume enough Cannabis to kill you. Judge Francis Young studied the evidence, and ruled in 1988 that "marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume." This comparison chart shows the number of deaths from selected substances in a typical year.*

Tobacco
340,000 to 425,000
Alcohol (excluding crime/accidents)
150,000 +
Legal Drug Overdose (prescription)
14,000 to 27,000
Illegal Drug Overdose
3,800-5,200
Aspirin
180 to 1000+
Marijuana
0

Nobody is dying from Cannabis use, today or ever.

"Nearly all medicines have toxic, potentially lethal effect. But marijuana is not such a substance. There is no record in the extensive medical literature describing a proven, documented Cannabis-induced fatality."
DEA Administrative Law Judge F.L.Young.

Remember, if there was any REAL danger, the government would be able to show it to you empirically (not hypothetically or by using their own, grant-paid 'scientists' (read prostitutes)). The fact that they cannot show you the harm empirically means they are deliberately lying to remove your freedoms which is a crime against humanity that the government must be held accountable for. We can never negotiate with the government until those who implemented and enforced these tyrannical laws are brought to justice.
