Can you OD on weed?

[Eo the Stoner!]

On Friday I smoke a joint of almost SOLID weed (no tobacco) and I threw up and could hardly walk. Is it possible to OD or even die from weed?

i remember reading a few years ago you would have to smoke 40000 times as much pot as it takes u to get stoned to kill you. maybe if you had fuckloads of hashoil

Cannabis is very safe, but it can be lethal, Its LD50 rating (which is the amount in which 50% of individuals (usually mice) die is about 1,270 mg/kg for THC. Which means if the average man smoked 10,000+ bongs in one session they could die.

THC is way less harmful than coffee and even tomatoes.

 

But yeah pot can make you feel like shit, Spewing on pot is a horrible experience, best to just get to bed, get all the light and noise away and rest.

That adds a new meaning to 'the mile high club'.

I had some blueberry once and felt like i was dying. Sweating, couldn't move, hallucinating insanely - must've done it too fast. I remember thinking i'd never smoke again but here i am doing 4 bowls a day minimum. .

You would passout/die from lack of oxygen before you could suck down enough cones to do any real damage. A famous study conducted in the 70's to link MJ use with brain damage was the result of some monkeys being fed smoke via masks and hence the lack of oxygen caused the damage, not the MJ itself.

I have to admit I've smoked enough a few times to make me puke. Drinking lots of water before during and after a session helps. Getting some exercise, i.e. moving more than just to refil or roll helps and eating moderately is a good idea.

 

I find that I go through phases (such as now) where I smoke way too much and even when I am 'not stoned' - usually from when I wake up to mid morning... I feel like I am sodden with thc, my brain feels like it is an over-filled sponge. ick. ... thats a bit off topic but I though I'd just throw that in there as a general observation.

 

one time I puked after munchies of potato chips and nuts and various other sharpish objects and scratched my throat on the inside... I thought I had a hair stuck around my non-existent tonsils or whatever; I felt a horrible sensation in my throat that made me want to gag constantly, took a couple of weeks to recover So i recommend not eating sharpish things that can come back up at velocity!
