... and even caffiene.

I don't know how much caffeine you're talking about, but if you think smoking 2 joints a day is safer than drinking two cups of coffee a day, then I beg to differ...

I'm talking about overdose. I'm not going to argue that coffee is more dangerous than marijuana.

I'm talking about overdose, 250+ people died last year from caffiene overdose.

I question that statistic :P, but if you're saying it's harder to overdose on pot than it is on caffeine, then I agree*.  But overall, regardless of how hard it is to kill yourself with either, smoking anything on a regular basis, including pot, is more detrimental to your health than drinking a few cups of tea or coffee a day.  I think tar deposits in your lungs and cognitive impairment, are important considerations.

*in this case I would be talking about pure caffeine.  A cup of coffee is about 2% pure caffeine (rough guess).  I think it would be easier to overdose on pot than on green tea, for example.

The mistake that the government has made is keeping tobacco legal.
