**Marijuana: ~0 direct overdose deaths per year in the US.** No confirmed fatal overdoses from natural THC alone in recent data (2024-2025). Rare cannabis poisonings (a handful since 2009) typically involve kids, synthetics, or mixing with other drugs—not standard use.
**Alcohol: ~178,000 deaths per year** from excessive use (CDC, latest 2020-2021 figures still cited; alcohol-induced deaths alone ~44k in 2024).
Alcohol is far deadlier by direct toxicity. Indirect risks like impaired driving exist for both, but alcohol dominates crash fatalities too.

I am genuinely in disbelief man. You’re depriving arguably the greatest player to ever wear your jersey a retirement tour for nothing. The season is already cooked. At least give the fans the ability to watch a player they grew up watching’s last minutes in the NBA and give one of the greatest players to ever walk this earth his flowers on the way out. How are you supposed to try and retire Chris’ number after you took away his retirement tour? Why should anyone ever sign with and try to build a legacy with the Clippers again? You just informed to the whole world you don’t care about your franchise legends.
One of the worst things I’v ever seen a franchise do, and it just so happens to be one of the franchises that genuinely hasn’t accomplished anything. The only reason the Clippers are relevant today is because of the man they just cut. I’m sick. As a Clippers fan, you should be disgusted.
I realized very early on into the Dillon Brooks experience that the narratives surrounding him as a player are all false.
I said last year Dillon Brooks was arguably our most consistent scorer, for sure the most consistent perimeter scorer.
And then you factor in the defense and the intangibles he brings to a locker room, this is one of the best role players in the entire league and everyone acts like he sucks.
