Lethal dose of THC

[phytokind]

So I calculated the lethal dose of THC based on a paper that I recently posted, based on studies with monkeys a 150 pound person would have to consume over 1.3 pounds of pure THC to get a lethal dose. I don't know how this relates to smoked THC, but that's quite a lot of THC.

If you smoke the fuck out and in less than 5 mins you feel the effect and not even reach your peak yet I'm pretty sure before anyone smokes 1.3 pounds of marijuana they will either not want anymore or pass out lol.

[Frivolous248]

If you attempted to smoke 1.3lbs you'd suffocate trying to inhale all that smoke within 15min or however fast you have to consume it. Thats just trying to smoke 1.3lbs of weed, which isn't pure THC.

I wonder if you could somehow cook like 5lbs and eat it all...probably have to eat like 2 batches of very concentrated brownies, atleast.

There's probably just no way to OD on the plant, you'd have to use marinol, but then could anyone ever get their hands on that much marinol? Or a lot or resin maybe.

[Frivolous248]

Yeah... 1.3lbs would be a lot to consume of ANYTHING, nevermind consuming 1.3lbs of a drug.

I ate a lot of pancakes made from cannabutter. God knows how much THC was in it but I went to bed and slept for 36 hours straight. I woke up feeling fine. 1.3 pounds of pure THC is a lot of bud.

Phytokind, what sort of work do you do? You're such a botanical/chemical expert, and I've always wondered.

[Markass]

THC is simply not toxic enough to cause harm...which is why it's impossible to overdose. Who the hell would want to try to consume enough pure chemical just to see if they could die from it? I'd much rather sit back and know that I could never smoke enough to kill me :)

wait a minute! They gave some monkeys free weed???? I wanna sign up please! :rasta:

It would be physically impossible to smoke a lethal amount in the time that it takes. As far as eating goes, your stomach would explode before you could reach anywhere near a letah amount!

Yeah I'm guessing that you would have to eat like 10 pounds of plant material, and then it wouldn't get digested all at once, but of course it's impossible to eat that much.

[magicmushroom420]

ive acually done some research into this and to od on thc u would have to be injecting it straight into ur blood at a rly fast rate. not ever gonna happen unless ur just tryin to dye

[rottenPauL]

injecting 1.3lbs?? LOL I mean... If u try to inject ANYTHING thats 1.3 lbs heavy you will die even if that is water or mustard, or tobasco. (injecting tobasco must be cruel...)

[Funyons]

well you need a few things
a tuba, a giant screen, over a pound of weed and a blowtorch
good luck

That's an interesting point.. about the injecting I mean. I think we've established that it's virtually impossible to overdose on THC but in terms of getting the most fucked up the fastest.. wouldn't shooting up a high concentration of THC technically be the best way?

Is there a way to do this? Obviously one cannot simply put a bud in a syringe and shoot up.. so is there a process (maybe similar to how one does heroin) by which one could shoot up THC?

Just curious.. I doubt I'd ever try it.

Actually you can't inject THC well at all because its non-polar and not very water-soluble at all. Blood is polar meaning the two won't mix well at all. You can search for "injection" in this article by the schaffer commission (famous study in the 1970s commissioned by nixon which concluded marijuana should be decriminilized which was then completely ignored and disclaimed by Nixon)

[LIP]

At one point the lethal dose of THC was meant to have been recorded at 16 pounds of pure THC in 15 minutes, which isnt only a physical impossibility, you simple die from suffocation before the lethal dose of THC was reached.

It's been proven it'll never kill anyone, ever.

[MeatRulz]

what if u eat it and not smoke it ?

[rottenPauL]

I recently read that cannabis prevents cancer. and those MOTHERFUCKERS keep it illegel... Fuck them all... Just fuck them all really hard...

[partcleguy]

Yeah... fuck them... cough COUGH COUGHHHHH :stoned:

[make it legal]

well you need a few things
a tuba, a giant screen, over a pound of weed and a blowtorch
good luck

I'll give it a try.
