2000 pounds

[Knucklecallus420]

so uh.. i was researching some facts on the interwebs, and i read that
you have to smoke around 2000 pounds of marijuana to overdose.

pretty neat, huh? think about the high you would get from 1000 pounds
i think i would pass out after about two ounces

[ballllin]

lmao

nice research

very interesting

[dusto2k3]

hell yeah,

WHO WANTS TO SEE ME OVERDOSE????

[Scottydoo]

actually i'm pretty sure theres a formula that pertains to the persons body weight that you can use to assess the amount of THC your body needs to absorb at the same exact time to achieve a lethal overdose.... which in turn is only theoretically possible by extracting the THC from the bud(cannaoil, and the like) and injecting it with a syringe into your bloodstream directly....

yea but nobody would ever do that anyway

[The Great Wave]

This is weird topic, because i just read the other day that some university over in england or something did a study, and they determined that you would have to smoke 1500lbs in 15 minutes to overdose.

I think that's just an estimate, I can never believe that number given because no one is ever gonna be able to smoke 2000 lbs. at one time and if they do they honestly need to get a life lol. Now there is smoking and then there is just overboard ha.

[Bob the Awesome]

Yea, they took the lethal dose for rats and estimated the human lethal dose. It's an estimate, but we still no it's an impossible level of consumption.

[dopefiend]

i wanna be the first to test this theory, now to start the funding for said project, any tokers umm takers :jointsmile:

[Nochowderforyou]

These observations are only estimated, so if you hear 1500lbs in 15min, or 2000lbs, it's all just an approx. :)

In reality, it is impossible to OD on cannabis. Smoking 1500lbs in 15 minutes is well, not believable. Not only would you have to smoke that amount, but your lungs would have to take in all that smoke at once. Your lungs would explode before you reached that amount.

So yeah, cannabis is the safest thing to do. Hmm, I'll take my chances with cannabis then lets say a syringe full of H or M*** where with that pump on the needle, you don't know if you'll be alive after. At least with smoking a joint, I know I'll be breathing after I'm done. :)

[dopefiend]

yes, actually someone has injected a liquid form of THC directly into their bloodstream by means of syringe, a thread about it was posted in the lounge, search for it, and check it out.

that would be the craziest high EVER:jointsmile:

[xmordeciax]

its all a theory bassed on a calculation of how much it takes to kill a rat

[Knucklecallus420]

haha
well
you guys, its not all on one study

[xmordeciax]

yea... it would be pretty insane though... if i'm ever rich i'm gunna get it professionally administered just so i can say i have experienced it before.

[LIP]

It's a physical impossibility.

Smoking - You'd just die from oxygen depravation before you could reach anywhere near the lethal dose.

Eating - Again, you cant eat that much.

Injecting - It's a thick oil, you'd clot your artieries and veins with it.. and thats without touching on the fact you couldnt inject that much into your body.

[Metaphor]

if i could get my hands on 2000lbs of grass ide deffinatley try to smoke myself to death.

[cannabis campbell]

Lol dont be fucking S T U P I D

thats like saying you would die if you ate one million big macs from mcdonalds

[smoke it]

its 1500 pounds in 15 minutes, but thats impossible to do

[soteksguard]

its 1500 pounds in 15 minutes, but thats impossible to do

Batman could do it.

[PatrickHenry]

like others said, it's impossible. you would just pass out.

MARIJUANA:

“Tetrahydrocannabinol is a very safe drug. Laboratory animals (rats, mice, dogs, monkeys) can tolerate doses of up to 1,000 mg/kg (milligrams per kilogram) (avg. commerical marijuana has .09%). This would be equivalent to a 70 kg (154 lbs) person swallowing 70 grams (2.5 oz) of the drug—about 5,000 times more than is required to produce a high. Despite the widespread illicit use of cannabis there are very few if any instances of people dying from an overdose. In Britain, official government statistics listed five deaths from cannabis in the period 1993-1995 but on closer examination these proved to have been deaths due to inhalation of vomit that could not be directly attributed to cannabis (House of Lords Report, 1998). By comparison with other commonly used recreational drugs these statistics are impressive.”

It depends a lot on potency, body mass, smoking experience and so on.


...and keep in mind that an overdose by smoking or eating marijuana has never been recorded so were not exactly sure *how* much exactly would kill a certain sized person. and since very few -credible- research has been done on marijuana, little can be said about toxicitiy other than propaganda (ITS RUSSIAN RULETTE KIDS!!!).

and also, that statistic is based on consuming marijuana, not smoking it....smoking it would take more because there is a percent of it that will not be inhaled.

any human being would have to smoke an extrordinary amount of marijuana in order to overdose. You would get a headache and probably pass out or vomit before smoking enough to kill you.

Keep this in mind:

*You cant smoke enough pot to kill you...you'd die from smoke inhilation before the toxicity of the THC would kill you.
*0 people in the recorded histry of the planet Earth have died from marijuana toxicity/poisining/overdose.
*Alcohol is by far the number one killer drug in America.
*Regarding marijuana in the US&A, you are far more likely to be shot and killed by a police officer than by marijuana or anything dumb you may do while intoxicated.

well... knowing how healthy are big macs (and all fast food in general), i bet anyone would die with much less than 1,000,000...

Batman could do it.

lol fuck yes he could!

[Rjenkins]

me and my friends bought an oz on the last day of 8th grade. to celebrate bein out of everything and goin into high school..we smoked it in one night..but i was so tired...it was the best day of my life..we fish bowled his camping trailer ..smoekd around the fire..with bowls joints blunts everything..it was so amazing..and we bougth about 50 bucks worth of munchie food...it was great

[indecision]

does it matter? if you can even somke 2000 lbs and you happen to die from it, i'd still worship the ground yuo walked on

word, and since its impossible to smoke that much weed in that amount of time, its not possible to overdose on marijuana
