Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

See, this is the conventional wisdom but I'm skeptical given we've hit a similar point with capsaicin where after a few years of arms race to make the hottest peppers in the world and making peppers hotter by orders of magnitude from what previously occured in nature we now have a couple of individuals who have died as a result of eating extremely spicy food (granted it exposed underlying health conditions but they would very likely still be alive today if they hadn't eaten overly spicy food) so now there's some question to the conventional wisdom of spicy food can't kill you. And I seriously suspect that we'll see the same with THC sooner or later
