Lol thats a whole lot of words to say that marijuana is still the only recreational drug with zero confirmed deaths even among unhealthy old people who take way too much

Zero confirmed deaths is bullshit! The first known (at least European) case is from a man named "Hank" (last name unknown because we care about privacy in Europe). He worked in 1994 at the docks of Rotterdam to load and offload cargo. One of said cargo was a heavy box full of hash that wasn't secured properly because nobody cared with illegal goods. It hit him in the head, killing him instantly.
