Sugar? What? I was talking about high dosages. Ever been so high you thought your heart was going to explode? That shit was terrifying.

Yes. Had a few paramedic call outs due to THC causing tachycardia. Fucking scary. My heart rate was so high I couldn’t talk. Thankfully my heart was structurally and electrically OK.

Making intelligent decisions when it comes to things you put inside you is a good starting point. It's only easy to get "too high" if you're ignorant.... And if you're doing drugs ignorantly ya dumb.

Sugar can kill you unlike cannabis.

That is straight up stupid. Sugar is not a drug. It might be addicting, but it's not a drug. It doesn't alter perception or act as a stimulant or sedative.

Sugar is in food. Added sugar can be bad for you. I'm talking about overdosing on THC. What the hell are you talking about?

I said THC is harmless, but it's scary when you get too high and you come in talking about sugar. I think you're high.

Yes it does act as a stimulant as well as being an energy source. Also saying it's not a drug is a bit silly when it directly affects and triggers systems in the brain that modify the chemical balance as well.
