...life-threatening....THC

Citation needed buddy. A little THC doesn't seem to threaten anyone's life. Someone can die from an alcohol OD but dying from THC requires another condition or activity that is going on, and thus due to inebriation the death occurs. This is still at a rate far lower than alcohol, a legal substance.
