Shocking discovery I found about marijuana...

[benvortec]

actually alot of people go to the hospital because they get like uber faded specially off of edibles and think they are overdosing...and they are like omfg im dieing, pfft novices

That sounds like the shit! I wish I got so high I thought I was overdosing/dieing on mary jane. That'd be a dream come true. :rasta:

[Shovelhandle]

Nope, it's not shit. I've known people who got too high and wanted to go to hospital. Like it was mentioned, usually edibles. Edibles can rock your world. I'm going to grab my last two pieces of lemon-poppy/ganja bread for tomorrow's breakfast. YUM! If one does feel like they are too high from ingesting herb, best thing is to eat something and wash it down with milk.

Like that cop who ate a bunch of brownies....then called his dispatch in a panic SURE he was dying of a heart attack or whatever paranoid trip he was having.....that audio tape is HYSTERICAL and public knowlege so yes, it DEFINITELY happens.

man people have really weak self control then. I've never freaked out from smoking too much. I mean I've had episodes where i've felt really uncomfortable and I KNEW I smoked too much, but i just grabbed some food and listened to some tunes and I snapped out of it. I've never thought "MAN THIS WEED HAS GOTTEN ME SO HIGH THAT I NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL". Although it does make sense if people are just telling them its pot even though it really isn't.

If a toker is educated, and understands that under normal smoking conditions, or with edibles in a dose that is even far beyond reasonable- you're NOT GONNA DIE!!! lol.
Even that dude who died smuggling a couple # of hash in his stomach died of toxic shock from what it sounds like, NOT an overdose.

So don't freak out, maaaaaan! Just post up those killer edibles recipes here with a trip report so we will all know how much was too much lol.

My thoughts entirely.

wtf why do that many people go to the emergency room every year from cannabis use???

I would also like to point out... because we ALL know how ignorant many "non-smokers" can be... I think there may be another scenario that could be included in that nearly 80,000 ER visit figure.

Johnny comes home late for curfew and smells of freshly burnt cannabis. Fresh off of their daily viewing of Reefer Madness, his parents notice the odor of the Devil's Herb.

Mom: "Oh my god Frank... little Johnny has been smoking drugs!"
Frank: "How much did you take you little bastard?"
Johnny: "We just smoked a joint before the movie."
Mom: "Ohhhhh my god... a marijuana cigarette?
Frank: "Johnny... look at me... are you overdosing?"
Johnny: "No, I'm probably just going to go to bed now if that's okay."
Mom: "Frank, get your keys. We're going to the emergency room to get Johnny's stomach pumped. It's the ONLY way to get those drugs out of him."
The End

Now, I'd say that accounts for a few thousand. :stoned:
