No one has ever died of a marijuana overdose. Animal tests have revealed that extremely high doses of cannabinoids are needed to have lethal effect. This has led scientists to conclude that the ratio of the amount of cannabinoids necessary to get a person intoxicated (i.e., stoned) relative to the amount necessary to kill them is 1 to 40,000. In other words, to overdose, you would have to consume 40,000 times as much marijuana as you needed to get stoned. In contrast, the ratio for alcohol varies between 1 to 4 and 1 to 10. It is easy to see how upwards of 5000 people die from alcohol overdoses every year and no one EVER dies of marijuana overdoses.

it is scientifically proven that in order for a human bieng to OD of off weed they would have to ingest 40 pounds of it, now since a human cant injest more then an ounce max at a time without passing out it is physically impossible for a human to OD on weed.

As someone who had avidly used weed for the past 14 years, I have never OD ed or even felt like it, and I have used a WHOLE LOT at one time.

No body has OD on weed. More people have died falling or trying to grab things that aren't there after smoking it.

read a medical study on that from back in the 80's when I was in high school. the toxic dosage was something close to 25 pounds consumed in 24 hours but that was even an estimate.

The danger is the overdose of Doritos after you smoke the weed.

if you smoke too much you'll puke and have a terrible headache, especially if there are seeds, that's all. unless you have an allergy to it or any of the pesticides or other stuff it was exposed to during growing, those types of things can pose significant health risks.

I think you would pass out before you would get to that limit. Now if you call od'ing having paranoid episodes, and freaking out then , umm well maybe but it will go away.

not really.. if you smoke to much then you'll just get really high and most likely puke. every person can only get so high, and once that person has reached their limit, they cant get any higher, and if they keep on smoking then it just keeps on building up, and eventually you will get so sick and you will just have to puke it all out.
