marijuana overdose

[flyable6string]

In my own opinion I believe it is impossible to overdose on marijuana, but I dont know for sure. Has anyone ever heard of someone overdosing? I thought I had overdosed about 2 months ago, when me and my wife spent the weekend with some friends. My budroe brings out this bong he calls "The Crippler" we smoke five bowls of some weed that he kept in the chamber of his pipe and filtered through for about a month. He apparently was getting it ready for our outing. I dont smoke very often. I just started back smoking about 6 months ago. prior to starting back I hadnt smoked since high school 18 years ago. So I got really f@#ked up. I sat by a fire that we had built and I just got stuck. I sat there for three hours just watching that fire. I didnt want move, I didnt want to talk to anyone, I just wanted to watch that fire. I felt better than I have felt in years. I remember thinking, "I wonder if I smoked too much? but who cares, what a way to die."

lol sounds like you had a good time.

Well if anyone could overdose it woulda been me on 4/20 lol. I think that you really dont overdose. Your heart either fails or explodes. Or you eat yourself to death. Or your eyes start to bleed and explode.

i think you have to eat a pound of high grade weed to literally od. it also has to be w/in a short amount of time. so....oding is pretty expensive if its with weed.

They did a test with mice and you have to consume 52,000 times your wieght to od. So its not impossible but it is "technically imposible".

I believe it can be accurately said..'one who weighs 150 pounds must consume at least 1,500 pounds of cannabis within 15 minutes to induce a lethal response.'

you can eat a thousand pounds and you wont die. THC is non toxic. this has been covered enough times, you cant die from marijuana, now light 1 up and lets celebrate.

yeah, been looking for this, just found it :)

Just after passage of the Controlled Substances Act, the first new, modern medical use for the drug was discovered. In a strange bit of irony, a UCLA researcher began a study to develop methods by which the police could detect whether or not a person was intoxicated with marijuana. Instead, he inadvertently discovered marijuana's ability to reduce intra-ocular (internal eye) pressure and help patients with glaucoma. The researcher had intended to assess whether or not the pupil dilation that often accompanies marijuana smoking could be used by police to tell who was high and who was not. But he stumbled on a finding that saved many glaucoma patients from blindness, and led to a new area of medical research.

Or you eat yourself

That is actually the reason why it is always important to have munchies.

THC has an LD50 of 1270mg/kg for an average human it would be 50 and 86g for females and males respectively. You really can't overdose on cannabis unless you were taking it intraveinously.

Fuckin lucky mice!

[AsianStoner420]

IMO u cant overdose from cannabis even if u want to,.. its either u will just fall asleep after smoking lots of weed or just get stucked in one corner like wat happend to you,..

[readytoxplod]

I once smoked so much it sucked. I couldn't walk straight, I kept falling over and running into things, and seeing freaky shit in the woods. I wasnt paranoid, but I didn't like it at all. I wished it was over so bad too. I had to try really really hard to keep my eyes open, it felt like weighhts were on my eyelids, it was weird.. I wasnt even tired! I couldn't think right, and then suddenly I got really tired and fell asleep. The next day I felt a little buzzed-ish. Never smoking thaat much chronic again...

i love sitting next to my camp fire in the summer, almost every weekend i go camping and have fires going, i have sat there for 4-5hrs just loading on more wood and just drifting smoking 3-4 joints in between.

you cant OD but i have smoke too much, just made me paranoid and i felt like i was dying but after a few hours its over.

[LaidZeppelin]

i think if you tried to eat a pound of high grade you would puke it before it settled and took any effect....i think its pretty impossible....i might agree with the eating to death though...im a small guy but i eat like kobiashi when stoned!

[TokinSurfer]

what if it was really good hash and you just layed into as if you hadnt eatin in a week?

A toxic dose of THC is OVER 1,000 times that of an average dose (I read this on a toxicity graph of the most commonly used recreational drugs, including legal ones--the legal ones were very low on the graph, meaning it doesn't take much to overdose on them). So, for instance, one bowl is average, or maybe one joint, or two (depends on tolerance too!). So you'd technically have to smoke OVER 1,000 average-sized bowls/joints/blunts/whatever of high quality Cannabis in a very short period. Pretty impossible, and in more than one way. Not only would most people not have the money to do this, but also one would probably pass out before they could finish 10 bowls. If not, one would die from smoke inhalation first.
