only if you've got 100's of pounds and they happen to fall on you...
no, cannabis will not kill you. but those enforcing the insane cannabis laws just might have to shoot you for being a menace to society.
nahh man weed cant kill u theres never been a death recorded due 2 marijuana...so smoke up an enjoy man
yea man smoke up youd have to smoke like 1million dolars worth to die!
Well, I wouldn't say it's absolutely impossible for weed to kill you. It does cause a spike in blood pressure and heart rate, so if you have a latent heart condition, it could conceivably kill you. That said, I've only ever heard of a very, very few deaths being attributed to marijuana usage and none have even been definitely confirmed, to my knowledge. It's about as safe a drug as there is, right up there with caffeine and aspirin. I really wouldn't worry about it. You have a higher risk of dying from being hit by a bus.
and with many people, cannabis lowers BP...like me for instance. my doc even documented it for his paper on med use and users.
You have a better chance of dying from caffeine, riddlin, alcohol, and aspirin.
Never weed.
Btw, correct me if I'm wrong but depending on your weight (95-200), you have to smoke 1200-1800 pounds of marijuana within a 15 minute period to overdose. And before you could acheive that, you would passout/ fall asleep.
It's something incredibly high like that. That's a fuck load of weed...
That's a dose for an LD-50, given what data we have for rats and mice. It does not include potential side effects due to existing medical conditions or other unexpected reactions. You can never say X amount of Y substance will not kill you, because everyone's body chemistry is slightly different, and people react differently to various substances. But again, weed is about as safe as anything. More people die each year from peanut allergies.
Incidentally, just for those who are curious, we can derive a more reasonable amount weed needed for an LD-50 dose. According to this MSDS for tetrahydrocannabinol, the LD-50 for rats is 666 mg/kg of body weight. If we extrapolate that to humans (probably not terribly accurate, but good enough for a first-order approximation), it would require a 200-pound man (91 kg) to ingest 60,606 mg of THC. The very best weed out there is about 27% THC b.w., which means he'd have to eat 224 grams or nearly a half pound of the stuff. While this may seem low, remember we're extrapolating from rat data, so the actual number for humans may be much higher, and this is also assuming 100% efficiency at extracting the THC during digestion, which would not be the case in reality. I suspect that much roughage would cause considerable gastric upset which would drastically lower the extraction efficiency, as well. I've never heard of anyone eating that much weed at once, in any case. LD-50 data for smoking is not available and would likely be very different from oral ingestion.
damn you peanuts!Quote:

if you want peanuts made illegal, go to www.stonersagainstpeanuts.com and bring the fight to the nuts!
rofl eat a half pound of 27% THC bud? r u jokin lol that would be about $2500 worth of bud
Well, I never said anyone would! :D
in over 5000 yrs of marijuana history NO ONE has ever died from OVER DOSE OF MARIJUANA . now thats not to say no one ever got to stoned and walked in front of a car or had some other stupidity related accident but there is no way humanly possable to overdose from weed just remember the first few times you smoke it to just take 1 or2 hits then wait about 10 minutes to see how you react to it good luck and enjoy.... our minions are growingQuote:

Nothing but shady strip joints, pawn shops, and frequently schitzophrenic homeless people. I never tripped or shroomed at a Warfield show simply because I didn't want to deal with the post show bummer once we got out of the venue.Quote:

Thx so...my mom wont die from it and I wont :D. And a couple of people were right I wasnt talking about over dosage I read in a book and every drug had death listed in the over dosage section besides marijuana so I was really talking about long term effect. And sorry for those that didnt feel like answering me but did it any ways I googled my question first and didnt come up with accurate results so I came here :D thanks everyone!
Cool, man. There may be some long-term health effects, particularly in the lungs, but hell, life will kill you eventually. :D
you have a better chance of dying from a polio puppy attack.
Ok well I dont care about dying later on I dont mind dying when I'm about 50 anyways :P.
RAWR puppys! lolQuote:

Cannabis up there With Caffeine have you ever read up on the misuse of caffeine and the effects on the central nervous system cannabis is at the bottom end of the scale with salvia...and air :D
"He/she died from marijuana" here's one of those phrases you never here or ever will.
What are the chances, one of my jury selectees ended up blurting out "my sister died from marijuana". We already picked his dumb ass too. what a lying pos.
Hahah Nextgen well thx guys you are really helpful. :D:D:D.
You can develop lung cancer from smoking weed for several years.
haha...bullshit. where are your facts that causes you to be so ignorant?
acctualy marijuana smoke is better for you over time with breaks.there has never been a case of lung cancer that the person got the condition from smokeing only marijuana,there have been plenty of cases were the person smoked both marijuana and ciggaretts
that is not entirely true please read the following article on a cannibis and cancer http://www.counterpunch.org/gardner07022005.htmlQuote:

Read my post again. I'm saying weed is at least as safe as caffeine. I'm not saying it's dangerous. Get a grip already.Quote:

Of course there are. If there weren't, you wouldn't get high. What you probably meant to say is there are no permanent neurochemical changes.Quote:

where are your facts, duppy? i gave my links to dr's reports saying the opposite of what your doc's are saying...oh wait, you don't have anything to back up your statement...
duppy, we patiently await some proof to your claims...and if it comes from freevibe, forget it. if they said the water is wet i wouldn't believe them...they have no credibility whatsoever.
