So... no one has died from thc?

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Well I suppose as long as there's any risk of overdose, no matter how small, we shouldn't legalize this demon weed! Besides, we have a perfectly safe and legal alternative called "alcohol", nobody ever overdoses on that!

I completely agree Gandalf....should we make aspirin and water illegal? How about salt?
It's about personal responsibility when making choices.

This is a tricky question. An overdose from weed is almost medically impossible, at least from the directly ingested active ingredients. But what we don't have quantified and never will is how many people have died more indirectly but still from a cannabis-triggered event. Pathologists in every community will assure you they see those deaths very regularly. Visit a coroner and ask. These are the people who smoke too much weed, often in combination with other medical problems, and suffer a deadly arrhythmia or throw an embolism or have an aneurysm that breaks open and floods the brain or a fit of coughing that results in pulmonary failure. A lot of folks will argue that those are then the result of other medical problems, which is only partially true. Had they not toked up in their already weakened conditions, they might have lived lots longer. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of those deaths every year. But still people like to keep perpetuating the no-deaths-at-all angle.

That may be true in people but death by cannabis toxicity, while unusual, is certainly not unheard in the veterinary world. Cannabis toxicity itself in animals is fairly common as well, (especially in dogs) leading to various other medical issues the same way that BG suggested happens in people. BUT I have seen the odd animal die from cannabis toxicity itself..due to bradycardia, hypothermia etc...all direct effects of too much drug and mostly because people figured it WAS harmless and sought treatment too late. Hard lesson to learn.

I'm through preaching on this thread. I've had my say and I very much appreciate everyone reading.....whether or not you believe is your choice of course----but I felt that I was heard here.

Thanks

If dogs ate one candy bar (a 50lb dog) they'd have no problem. If you ate a straight 5lbs of sees candy maybe it would kill you too.

sorry this is off topic but my friends dog is weird cuz he ate like ~$50 of fanny may chocolate in about 5 mins and was fine

he also ate rat poisoning and was fine

Sounds like your friend's dog was lucky! And it sounds like your friend might need to be a more responsible pet-owner if his dog is getting into chocolate and rat poison.

While I think it's extremely safe, there's a real problem when it comes to these conclusions. One side will tell you that it's put on earth by the devil and one puff will destroy your life. The other side will tell you it was put on earth by god and is a miracle drug. Whatever the truth actually is a lot less studies are done on Marijuana because of it's legal status. Whatever they may be, we know the risks of cigarettes and alcohol. But marijuana is different.

Nicotine has a lethal dose at only 40-60mg. The typical accepted LD or lethal dose for many prescription medications is only ten pills. And a the amount of Tylenol in a typical sized bottle is a lethal dose as well. But there is no such thing as a lethal dose of smoked Cannabis sativa. And you don't hear about chain smokers dying from nicotine poisoning, although they probably have very toxic quantities of nicotine in their system. Why are people so worried about one of the safest plants on Earth, Cannabis sativa? If anything, it's probably protecting you from all that harmful crap. And the lethal dose of caffeine is 10 grams, drink to that.
