Yeah just look at the mortality rate: alcohol kills tens of thousands per year and Cannabis kills?, wait a minute Cannabis kills none. I can't find any evidence of any recorded deaths caused directly from Cannabis ever.

THC poisoning is VERY rare. Like, very very. 

But my understanding is that if you eat a huge amount (usually on accident. There is one case I know where vape oil was drank) there CAN be heart issues. Especially if the patient already has underlying cardiac or pulmonary insufficiency. 

But that's so rare as to be barley worth discussing. 

Bigger issue is increase in workplace and automobile accidents (about a 4% increase in motor vehicle deaths corresponding to states where it's legal vs no corresponding increase in non legalized states). 

And other secondary factors like smoke from burning and possible carcinogens in vape oil. The industrialization of cannabis production is likely to lead to new a different chemicals sneaking through the supply chain. 

Does even the worst scenario for any of that equal the damage alcohol does to society? No. But that doesn't mean it's not there.
