Is it possible to OD on Marijuana?

I read somewhere that to actually overdose on marijuana, you would have to smoke something like 4 lbs in 10 minutes. So really, it's impossible since there is physically no way to get that much into your system that fast. Like someone else said, the only way you could is if you were smoking marijuana laced with something, and even then it's unlikely.

Yes it is possible. Generally it would take longer, or more marijuana then other drugs, but yes you could OD. It is possible too that the marijuana that the person who ODed bought some that was spiked with some other stuff. There are some dealers that will put addictive elements into marijuana so that people will be addicted and buy more.

No, it's not possible. Worst case is he'll fall asleep. Your use of the term "big pothead" suggests to me you are already predisposed in judging somebody because they smoke a plant that occurs naturally in nature. I humbly submit that you should be glad he is not an alcoholic risking cirrhosis of the liver and worse. The negative politicization of marijuana is a joke and is fed by lies upon lies by the federal government. The most harmful aspect of marijuana is that is absurdly declared illegal and can have legal consequences if you get caught with it. If you need to worry about your cousin, worry about that, not about that you think he's going to die one day by using it. That only tells me how successful the brainwash campaign against marijuana has been. A recent study has shown that marijuana can actually prevent or reduce memory loss as you get older.

No. It's not possible.

On top of the fact that there is never been one case of a person ODing from cannabis, there is yet to be one recorded death from cannabis consumption. And unlike what one of the other people posted above, marijuana in conjunction with alcohol does not cause alcohol poisoning...drinking too much alcohol in a certain period of time causes alcohol poisoning however.

"At present it is estimated that marijuana's LD-50 is around

1:20,000 or 1:40,000. In layman terms this means that in order to induce

death a marijuana smoker would have to consume 20,000 to 40,000 times as

much marijuana as is contained in one marijuana cigarette. NIDA-supplied

marijuana cigarettes weigh approximately .9 grams. A smoker would

theoretically have to consume nearly 1,500 pounds of marijuana within

about fifteen minutes to induce a lethal response."

yes and no. if you are mixing them, then things can get very serious. for example. drinking and pot. when you drink too much you will throw up. but when you smoke pot it weakens your gag reflex. you can quickly get alcohol poisoning and have to go get your stomach pumped. the hospital will class this as an OD on marijuana as well as alcohol.

so i would say ya, your friend probably knew someone who ODed on pot. but that was probably not the only thing that was going on.

No, I do not think that is possible... unless they were mixing something else with the pot, or it was lace, in which case it wouldn't be the pot they were ODing on. So no, if it was just pure maryjane I don't think it would be possible, but then again, I'm no doctor.

you would have to smoke three times your body weight worth of weed to actually fry your brain.

you would pass out into sweet dreams by the first handful of weed you smoked.

so unless its laced, no you absolutely cant!

NoNoNoNoNoNoNo.

if it takes 3 beers to intoxicate you, take 1bout up to 30 to kill you. if it takes 3 hits to intoxicate you i takes 120,000 to kill you.

even if you do manaje to overdose on weed, its not fatal.

smoke on!

nope no way , silly talk !

you can pass out and get the munchies that's about it -__-

no
