Marijuana and supplements vs big pharma drugs
“Abstract. Our prescription drugs are the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer in the United States and Europe. Around half of those who die have taken their drugs correctly; the other half die because of errors, such as too high a dose or use of a drug despite contraindications.”

“In 2017, a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) publication stated that ‘No deaths from overdose of marijuana have been reported’. Yet it might happen in theory, and in fact has been studied. There is a unit of measurement known as the lethal dose (LD), which applies to any substance that people may consume and is calculated in relation to body weight. This measure is an indication of the lethality of a given substance. For example, for sugar the median LD is 30 g/kg and for table salt it is 12 g/kg. This means that a lethal dose of sugar for an 80 kg person is 2.4 kg, while for salt it is almost 1 kg. Heroin, by contrast, has a median LD (LD50) of 50 mg/kg by inhalation, but only 0.02 g/kg if taken intravenously.”
“For cannabis, the amount needed for a lethal dose is colossal. David Schmader explains in his Weed, The User’s Guide: A 21st Century Handbook for Enjoying Marijuana (2017) that a person weighing about 75 kg would have to consume 750 kilos of cannabis in 15 minutes to overdose lethally. Most cannabis strains contain around 15-20% THC, i.e. 1 g of cannabis contains at most 200 mg of THC. It is virtually impossible to consume such a large volume of THC by inhalation. It is certainly possible to ingest more THC through swallowed edibles, but it should be noted that the most conservative estimates suggest an adult male would have to consume 50 grams of pure THC to have a 50% chance of dying. Even if a person were to ingest the most potent or concentrated cannabis edibles, they would be more likely to die sooner from over-consumption of sugar and salt than from an overdose of THC. To be sure, someone who is very disturbed might consider injecting a lethal amount of pharmaceutical THC, but this is a rather far-fetched scenario.”

Deaths from Supplements
According to the most recent report, ZERO Americans died from taking any supplement in 2013. That includes anything from substances that must be taken with care and medical guidance, such as kava kava or yohimbe, or ayurvedic medicines (which must be sourced with care to be sure they are free from heavy metals), to standard vitamins and amino acids, to the gentlest homeopathic remedies.
