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.
