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
lmao
nice research
very interesting
hell yeah,
WHO WANTS TO SEE ME OVERDOSE????
yea but nobody would ever do that anywayQuote:

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.Quote:

i wanna be the first to test this theory, now to start the funding for said project, any tokers umm takers :jointsmile:
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. :)
that would be the craziest high EVER:jointsmile:Quote:

haha
well
you guys, its not all on one study
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.
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.
if i could get my hands on 2000lbs of grass ide deffinatley try to smoke myself to death.
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
its 1500 pounds in 15 minutes, but thats impossible to do
Batman could do it.Quote:

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...Quote:

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 marijuanaQuote:
