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.

[robert42]

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.
