That's a ridiculous counterargument. I drive, though an accident might kill me. I work out, despite the off-chance of a work-related heart attack.
There are no overdose-related deaths in the history of marijuana. Ever. You could smoke your weight in weed and not die. Similarly, nobody's ever died from LSD (I can't think of another drug whose usage leads to "trips"), and I can't recall ever reading of a bad trip from which you "don't come back".
You spoke of LSD in the GP and that is what I am speaking of. Of course there are no stories of overdoses of marijuana, but that's a straw man because, again, you spoke of lsd.
Did it ever occur to you that those who trip and dont come back can't tell you what they did because they're gone? A large number of mentally destablized homeless in the San Fran area from the Haight-Ashbury era seem to suggest that there are serious long-term effects with the ingestion of LSD.
I spoke of LSD with the implication that LSD is much worse than marijuana in terms of lasting effects (flashbacks in this case). I used it only to provide some frame of reference in the real argument, which is over marijuana. You went after my mentioning LSD despite weed being the topic here. That's a straw man, if you care about being syntactically correct.
Find me the story of somebody who was "lost" in LSD and I'll respond to it. Right now you're spreading FUD. There is proof of LSD flashback. There is no proof of people getting "lost" in trips. There certainly is proof of LSD aggravating people with mental instability, but instability exists without drugs.
You probably already know this, but just to clarify, LSD flashbacks are not biological, but psychological, similar to Vietnam flashbacks or other PTSD inducing events.
