"The signs of using too much marijuana are just like those of using marijuana, but more severe", or whatever the actual quote is (long quote, can't see the picture while I'm typing), is just such a "well, duh" statement.

I think that works for most things, the more you take in, the more they effect you.

I get that they're trying to both say "marijuana won't kill you", and "more marijuana does have an effect", but it sounds so stupid.

But not as stupid as Sheriff Billy-Bob, there, though, that thinks that marijuana is deadly.

Driving under the influence can be, so maybe in that way stronger marijuana might be more dangerous because your decision making might be impaired enough to get you behind the wheel, but even that's a real stretch.

I will say, as someone that's only smoked about once a decade, it has indeed gotten stronger each time I smoked.

But that's just personal anecdote with no real info behind it, because I have no idea of the strains I smoked or the strength of them.

Not really. They give 2 paragraphs emphasizing the danger. Then without any rhetorical device connecting it like a transitional expression, they present a new paragraph with a citation from the CDC decreasing the strength slightly while still emphasizing danger then at the end of that paragraph say the DEA says you aren't going to die from it. It absolutely isn't in the next sentence it is in a different paragraph from his statement.

I like how by his logic weed is getting worse for you than it used to be, however policing for weed is becoming far less punishing than it used to be. So, he thinks that people in the 90s deserved to get beaten nearly to die and go to jail over something that wasn't harmful, but now that it is harmful (according to him) he worries about all the overdoses it will cause. Fucking hypocrite
