No, the point is the danger of calling safe things dangerous or, in this case, mild things spicy. Kids smoke pot, realize it's harmless and figure other drugs they've been warned about are also harmless, then end up ODing. The analogy is limited in that It's harder to make that leap from allegedly "spicy" food to things that can seriously fuck you up or even maybe kill you, but this kid did.
Wait a moment. Is heroin actually safe or am I too drunk and tired to get the irony?
Edit: ok I am too drunk and tired to get the irony. DON'T DO HEROIN KIDS!!!
Heroin is not safe.
