While AFAIK no one had ever died from cannabis use, to be entirely fair, isn't there some impact of long-term use on brain functions? Plus some effect on the lungs if smoking (though, of course, there are other means of consumption).

Also, most certainly it takes somewhat longer than a couple months of alcohol abuse for the liver and other organs to start failing.

Probably most dangerous part is the munchies. If you don’t plan ahead you can eat way too many calories over a long time period and get the usual health issues of that

Yes, I meant once organs start failing it still takes about two months to die.
