There is evidence. You've seen them. It's imprinted in your memory,
all those little neurons have set themselves firing in the correct way,
and it's there inside your head. That's evidence, and damn convincing
evidence as far as you're concerned, also.

If the lethal dose is around 56 ounces of THC, and there's about 10%
(guestimate) THC is ordinary Cannabis Weed, then you would have
to consume 560 ounces of cannabis in a reasonably short space of
time. That's a total of approximately 62 9-bars. One 9 bar has
a street value (In England) or 600 pounds sterling (Approx 1000 dollars,
I think!). Therefore, to OD on Dope would cost you around 37,200 pounds
sterling (70,000 dollars ish). That's why there's never been an OD
on Cannabis, because to smoke 62 9-bars in a short space of time is
ridiculous. The point is, though, that a lethal dose does still exist.

Ha, I'll bet I'm younger than you.
