Jake, Sima, and Jessie go down a wildly specific rabbit hole of “safer than” comparisons after seeing a viral post claiming cannabis is safer than ants (yes, really). From there, the conversation turns into a bigger reality-check on risk: what “safety” actually means, why the CDC doesn’t even track cannabis deaths the way it tracks other substances, and how government messaging (including the DEA fact sheet) can lean more toward fear than education.

They also compare cannabis to alcohol (and the very real harm numbers tied to drinking), talk about shifting cultural use trends, and get into how people interpret stats online, what’s legit, what’s context-dependent, and what’s just engagement bait. Expect humor, skepticism, and plenty of “show me the source.”
