Both tylenol and marijuana are in the same family of drugs (CB2 agonists), but tylenol kills hundreds of Americans per year whereas marijuana doesn't. The fact that they are vaguely in the same family doesn't mean they have comparable risk profiles.

One of the most toxic pain killers (Acetaminophen/Paracetamol) is also one of the most common over the counter medicines!

Tylenol is usually fine if you stick to the recommended doses. Usually when someone has serious problems with it, they've been taking handfuls at a time (which will completely destroy your liver).

Anything is fine if you stick to the recommended dose!

The problem with this drug is that 16-20 tablets can be a fatal dose - which isn't that many taken 2 at a time.

Even water is toxic if you ingest too much too quickly.

IIRC Tylenol (ie Acetaminophen/Paracetamol) is the leading cause of deaths due to drugs.

Both accidental, because the fatal dose is relatively low compared to the therapeutic dose and because deliberate overdoses are far more likely to be fatal than say sleeping tablets.
