   	You have that right.  Aspirin, acetaminophen, booze   
   are more dangerous and so is water in the wrong place and   
   quantity.  We still sell all those deadly OTC drugs in   
   quantities that can be used for self-harm.  And if you   
   went by quantity to kill we would need to sell cannabis   
   in hay bale-sized amounts.   
      
   	In California we add the sort of taxes that double   
   the expense of medical cannabis products as I know from   
   personal expensive experience.  These taxes were added by   
   the legalization act of the California Legislature after   
   the people voted to legalize such use.  The taxes are   
   directed at the growers so they must be passed on to the   
   user/consumer whether the use is medical or recreational.   
      
   	Oh and one of the reasons I use is because during   
   an illness about 50 years ago I accidentally overdosed on   
   aspirin and became sensitive to it.   
   	 Look up "erythma nodosum" if you want to know what   
   the effect on me of aspirin is.
