Not directly. Anything and everything we do from the moment we come out of the womb contributes to the process of dying. Somethings contribute more and faster than others. Pot is the least of your concerns unless you do stupid, risky things when using. If you smoke a lot and you live long enough you may develop cancer or emphysyma and that could be the cause of your death and you could link it back to smoking pot but that is a two step process, not what you are asking about.

Cheers

It can actually. It's not something you can overdose on like other illegal drugs or even alcohol because you would pass out way before that which, in it's self, could be life threatening. However, one joint is the equivalent of 10 cigarettes and can cause serious respiratory diseases as well as cancer. It's just not safe on so many levels.
Not only are your responses severely delayed so is your ability to think or even defend yourself should you need too. It is addicting despite what others may say and it's very much like being addicted to alcohol and very difficult to give up when addicted.

I personally believe that is has beneficial uses in the medical field, but I don't think it should be used as a recreational drug.

For those of you who are saying "NEVER" like you know that for sure. You've personally checked every death record and cause of death of everyone to know that no one has ever died from using marijuana?You're telling me that no one has ever died in a car accident because they were high or some girl was never raped and killed because she was high and could not defend herself? You're telling me fatal accidents or crimes never happen when people are high? If you are then you are deluding yourselves.

Go ahead and bring on the "thumbs down" because what I say is correct and you all know it, you just don't want to admit it because you'd much rather be getting high.

You would have to sit down and smoke 1,500 lbs. to O.D. And there is no one on this planet who could do it. Not even me,and I've been smoking for over 25 years.Everyone who thinks you can die from marijuanna need to read the book "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer. The truth is revealed within. They are now finding that it helps people who have ADD.

I took a class in college and I remember hearing that you would have to smoke 7 pounds to OD which is pretty much impossible. It's not good for your lungs but there are no records of any deaths from Marijunana.

Nobody in history has EVER died from smoking marijuana. It also has many beneficial effects. Like anything, just don't overdo it. It's definitely better than drinking alcohol.

NEVER, it has never, ever caused a death. Whenever you hear of someone dying with it in their system they also have alcohol or other more harmful drugs in their system. They just proved that it does not cause emphysema, also!

No. Not in itself. You might do something really stupid while high and die, but MJ won't kill you.

You'll just get tired, take a 2 hour nap, wake up, and eat everything in the kitchen.

nope, its actually impossible to OD on it. you would have to smoke an insane amount in a very short time. and its actually physically imposssible to do that.

something like 5 pounds in 1 hour, would kill you, but thats impossible to do!
