The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
and so that's I mean you know there's always the saying like there's never been an account of someone actually dying from a cannabis overdose or a THC overdose I mean certainly people can do stupid things while they're intoxicated that result in their death but in the same manner that someone can die from consuming too much opiates that doesn't seem to be physically possible with cannabinoids as far as we've seen so far
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
because a lot of the signaling mechanisms between opioid receptors and cannaboid receptors are quite similar but um as it's been well established people can overdose and fatally and die from opiates relatively easily and the way that that tends to happen is uh when you activate the receptors in the kind of cardiorespiratory parts of the brain stem it depresses neural activity
so this is one of the things that really differentiates cannabis from opiates because a lot of the signaling mechanisms between opioid receptors and cannaboid receptors are quite similar but um as it's been well established people can overdose and fatally and die from opiates relatively easily and the way that that tends to happen is uh when you activate the receptors in the kind of cardiorespiratory parts of the brain stem it depresses neural activity so as the person loses Consciousness um they also unconsciously will stop regulating their own heart and breathing and they can it can be a fatal response because cannabinoid receptors don't really exist in those regions you don't get the same kind of impact in terms of suppressing heart rate um and breathing function
