So... no one has died from thc?

[chuckin deuces]

theoretically if you smoked a straight key of some dank, or maybe an ounce of hash as fast as you could, you might die. or walk into oncoming traffic trying to find taco bell.

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.

i agree completely

He said it was Marijuana. However, did he say he died from too much marijuana smoke inhalation, or THC? Also, did he give out the THC and other cannabinoid levels found in his body? To come to a conclusion, the report has to be as unbiased as possible. Clearly if there were no THC levels reported, or any other cannabinoid levels reported, then it most likely was not the cause of death. If it was, why would the doctor hesitate to post such detailed information? Also, it is estimated that toxic THC levels have to be around 30,000 - 40,000 times that of the average dose to get stoned. And by estimated, I mean that since nobody has been documented to die from THC, that nobody actually knows the exact ratio. This means a very, very extreme THC level. So extreme that it is humanly impossible to smoke enough grade-A bud within such a short time period.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think cannabis is harmless. However, a direct death caused by toxic THC levels is indeed unheard of. Birdgirl is correct in what she says, though. There are many angles to view this from.

Sombrero, lethal doses also depend on body mass and tolerance. However, I would not doubt that 10,000mg of caffeine could kill everyone who tried that dose. So of course a "lethal dose" would be 10 grams. However, even 8,000mg would likely kill anyone. That's just an overestimated dosage, so that it is definitely correct, because it all depends on body mass and tolerance.

And she usually is correct in what she says. There are many angles to view how a drug can kill somebody. So yes, just as anything can be deadly, so can cannabis; however, cannabis is not toxic, and nobody has been able to prove that wrong as of yet.

Then again, everything that birdgirl said, while true, can still be attributed to irresponsible use of cannabis. Thus, we can conclude that irresponsible use of cannabis, as well as everything else, can be unhealthy and possibly dangerous. However, as we all know, cannabis itself is not a dangerous drug.

in the end, it takes around 1500 pounds taken in 15 minutes in order to kill an average adult...good luck downing 100 pounds of weed a minute.

Let's be frank. The only cause of death is birth, whatever you do along the way is your own business and has nothing to do with the end result, only the speed of its approach. Don't Fear The Reaper. I'm going to go play my cowbell now.

huh I am going to have to look into this, I thought it was nearly imposible unless you had other health issues, such as anurisums and time bomb type things. Which can be related to herb; but then again when the body is in a weakend state anything from a fart to not looking up could kill you.

[Sombrero]

Yeah straining on the toilet too hard can kill you.

[orangeman]

If I die because I smoke too much weed and have weak parts oh well, it was meant to happen lawl. But why would anyone even smoke that much weed at one time anyways? Of course everyone is probably curious what it's like but really, it's not even necessary to try and overdose on marijuana I mean wtf lol. Just smoke and enjoy.

Stephen Sidney, M.D., British Medical Journal (9/20/03, Vol. 327, pp. 635-635): "No acute lethal overdoses of cannabis are known, in contrast to several of its illegal (for example, cocaine) and legal (for example, alcohol, aspirin, acetaminophen) counterparts."
