Wow...you're seriously trying to say that water is worse than marijuana.
....just wow.
Please refer to my post 9 posts up and you'll see my argument against this notion. Just because water overdose, which is EXTREMELY unlikely and almost 99% of the time occurs not due to water but due to some kind of outward activity that combines with it, can cause death does not mean it is more dangerous than Marijuana.
Put it this way...
Find all the cases of "Water Drunk in excess + Holding it in for a contest = death" that you can, and I'll find all the "Smokes pot + drives car = death" and lets see whose total is higher.
There is no "outward activity" necessary to die from water intoxication. You simply have to drink a lot of water without getting enough salt or other minerals. I agree that it is unlikely for this to happen, but it is even more unlikely to overdose on cannabis.
to me, Life is one big "tasting contest"--I try everything, to see what I like. the things I like, I order up a double. the things I don't like, I feed to the dog. I don't live in fear of death, I welcome it's coming. Calculated risk is fine with me---but I don't bungie jump.
I don't fear death either. But I don't think I need to experience something to decide if I would like it or not. If I don't like chocolate or peanut butter I'm not going to like a peanut butter cup. If I don't like heights or going fast then I don't need to bungee jump. I am immune to poison ivy, but it would be silly for me to say that the plant isn't harmful. The same can be true for your experiences with marijuana.
