What are the health risks of eating marijuana?

Instantaneous death. Severe THC overdose is probably your BEST possible scenario.

Unless you want to be in a coma in a hospital, don't even eat a crum.

You can OD!!!!!!!!!!1!1!!

it happened to a cop, real shit haha

There is such thing as to much thc^^^. You can overdose on thc. It wont kill you it will just cause some very unpleasent effects.

Wanna back that up with proof? Oh wait, here we go:


TOXICITY DATA: 666 MG/KG ORAL-RAT LD50; 482 MG/KG ORAL-MOUSE LD50; 525 MG/KG
ORAL-DOG LDLO; 29 MG/KG INTRAVENOUS-RAT LD50; 42 MG/KG INTRAVENOUS-MOUSE
LD50; 128 MG/KG INTRAVENOUS-MONKEY LDLO; 373 MG/KG INTRAPERITONEAL-RAT


Now, do you have any idea the actual amount of THC in any given strain of marijuana?

You pretty much have to eat your weight in weed in order to overdose, and even by the time you finished the last bite, the initial dosages would be long gone, so you would have to eat your own weight very quickly, and manage to stay awake the whole time to do it.

Impossible.

So stop saying you can overdose on THC.

Unless you happen to have a very rich friend who has very special connections, and you manage to get 20+ GRAMS of PURE THC (street value estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars) AND you were stupid enough to eat it all at once, then NO ONE is going to overdose on THC.


That shit that happened to that cop was just because he was a pussy dumbass lightweight fucking nooblet.


END MOTHERFUCKING THREAD

I dont mean overdose and die man. I mean take too much and get uncomfortable effects. As in taking over the dose you need to get high or good effects.

That shit happend to the cop because he took OVER THE DOSE he needed.

It may be impossible to od and die but it is very much possible to take too much and get uncomfortable effects.

And thats not the accepted definition of overdose.

Gee, I've got a stomach ache. Guess I overdosed on those gummy bears.

I was gonna say it but I didn't feel like making him tap dance any more than he already has today.

Dude. o·ver·dose (vr-ds)
n.
An excessive dose, especially of a narcotic.

v.tr.

NOTICE^TO ADMINISTER TOO LARGE A DOSE. LOOKS LIKE AN ACCEPTED DEFINITION TO ME.

A while back I was skimming through something on the web and I read that an OD of Marijuana would require the equivalent of 10,000 joints. Kind of obscure to me and I have no idea if it's true..but if I had the means i'd go for it. Not that i'd get even close before becoming a vegetable.

In scientific studies, the term 'overdose' is in reference to the LD-50. The LD-50 of a substance is the dose at which 50% of the experimental animals (people) die.

The LD50 value for rats by inhalation of THC is 42 mg/kg of body weight ... There has never been a documented fatality from marijuana or THC overdose.

Thanks wikipedia! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrocannabinol)

This basically translates to: it is impossible to overdose on cannabis. You would have to inhale somewhere around 1500 pounds of pot with about 12% THC content ... within roughly 15 minutes ... to officially overdose. To die.

'Overdose' might be used commonly to refer to taking too much in the community of whoever wrote your definition, and among you and your friends ... but that is not the accepted definition.

Edit - Oh, and since this thread is about eating pot ... it would take much, much more to OD by eating it. The above was for smoking.

Echo?

Way to beat me to it, asshole. :( The OP's probably their son lol. ^^

lol you sound so pretentious.

That's not the ACCEPTED DEFINITION!!! Goddamn nerd.

lol you sound so pretentious.

That's not the ACCEPTED DEFINITION!!! Goddamn nerd.

haha 5 char

He is right, the accepted definition for OD is LD50. If you didn't take enough to die, you didn't overdose, it's called being a pussy dumbass lightweight fucking nooblet, not overdosing.

If overdosing were just simply taking too much to feel comfortable, well then every single motherfucker who has EVER done ANY recreational drug has overdosed at least once.

Also, just to throw it out there, if a person smokes a joint, and gets waaay to high, pukes, cold sweats, pass out etc, does that mean they overdosed? No, it means they are a lightweight. You don't take them to a hospital, because they are FINE.

Overdoses require medical attention. Being a pussy ass noob does not.

See the difference?

lol you sound so pretentious.

That's not the ACCEPTED DEFINITION!!! Goddamn nerd.

Maybe. But I don't sound like an ignorant child.

LOL, I got soooo stoned last night, I threw up. I overdosed man, I'm so hardcore!!1!1

Seriously, if I heard someone say they overdosed on weed in real life, it would be a knee jerk reaction to punch them in the fucking mouth.ah fuck i can't believe you've done this

Sorry stupid noob...I was just kidding in that first post because of the stupidity of the thread. I thought it was pretty obvious, but then it apparently snowballed into this.

Holy fuck though, this thread has gotten 100 times worse.

This thread should have ended before it started.

Did you delete it? Because I don't see it. And no hard feelings man, it's all good. I often fail to recognize sarcasm online and tend to take things too literally.

Oh but you can overdose on THC. In the same sense the anti-drug lobby invented the word "psychological addiction", they'll invent "psychological overdose" so that they can claim you can overdose on weed.

And anyone intelligent will realize its as hollow as 'psychological addiction' ... which, the actual definition of equates to repeatedly eating pistachios until the bag is empty, etc.

Overdose is when you *dose over* your physical limit

come on retards, its right in the fucking word

Did you delete it? Because I don't see it. And no hard feelings man, it's all good. I often fail to recognize sarcasm online and tend to take things too literally.

Nope, it's the very first post in this thread.

Instantaneous death. Severe THC overdose is probably your BEST possible scenario.

Unless you want to be in a coma in a hospital, don't even eat a crum.

I just feel like it's partially my fault for mentioning overdose in the beginning of the thread that it snowballed like that...Fuckin morons.


'psychological addiction'

Heh. I love when people bring this up in an anti-anything argument. EVERYTHING is psychologically addictive if you enjoy it. Millions of people are psychologically addicted to driving, and people die everyday in driving accidents, so why don't we outlaw driving?

Everyone claiming overdose means anything other then the LD-50, or that you can overdose on weed, should watch the Overdose Theory section of Weed Harmless 3 (http://whatthefawk.com/wh3/).

Too much money to be made through constantly repairing automobiles, oil and gas, rubber tires, etc.

And because a huge GM conspiracy destroyed the age of public transport and trolleys, and changed western culture to one based on the automobile. With our overly-large communities, we are basically dependent on some kind of transportation.

(OH-ver-DOHS)

An amount of drug that is more than what should be taken at one time.




www.answers.com/topic/overdose?cat=healthDrug Overdose
A drug overdose is the accidental or intentional use of a drug or medicine in an amount that is higher than is normally used.

Description

All drugs have the potential to be misused, whether legally prescribed by a doctor, purchased over-thecounter at the local drug store, or bought illegally on the street. Taken in combination with other drugs or with alcohol, even drugs normally considered safe can cause death or serious long term consequences. Children are particularly at risk for accidental overdose, accounting for over one million poisonings each year from drugs, alcohol, and other chemicals and toxic substances. People who suffer from depression and who have suicidal thoughts are also at high risk for drug overdose.

— Altha Roberts Edgren


thats weird. every site seems to say an overdose is taking over the normal dose.

And thousands of sites claim marijuana is addictive.

so are you saying those definitions are incorrect? All the definitions seem to have something in common. That an over dose is, OVER THE NORMAL DOSE OR AN EXCESSIVE DOSE.

Do you guys even remember the original topic before you proceed to make a post?

Over dose? WTF stop arguing a triviality

Do you just remember the last comment?

Are you just fucking baked?

Incase you cant keep your attention span to the end of the tread let me remind that: the OP....is asking about eating pot....

EATING POT DOES NOT GET YOU HIGH

And is probably safer then smoking as there are no chemicals burned..... or CO produced.

its like eating any other plant...lettuce or the like... your stomach should be designed to digest most plants safely....that doen't contain dangerous alkaloids (so dont say likez datura!!1!!11ONE!!!11!1111!ELEVEN)

/thread

Are you saying all these sites which claim marijuana is addictive and dangerous are correct, simply because so many say so? Because its common.

Those definitions are common literal interpretations of the term overdose. In the scientific community, overdose is in reference to the LD-50, not a dose which is higher then one would would like. Officially, it is impossible to overdose without taking the LD-50.

As stupid noob said,

If you didn't take enough to die, you didn't overdose, it's called being a pussy dumbass lightweight fucking nooblet, not overdosing.

The OP was not asking about getting high, he was asking about health risks.

Weird. what about when some ods on morphine or heroin and they don't die?

YOu going to post something to back that up or just keep pulling shit out of your ass. I still havnt seen a source.


Well hot damn does that say NON-FATAL overdose in the title?

As I have said, overdose refers to the LD-50 - the dose at which 50% of the experimental animals die.

Thats means 50% of the population will die during an OD. If you did not take enough to potentially die, its not an OD.

No source? Did you not see my Weed Harmless 3 post?

If you want an actual written definition, you can go suck my cock. I don't actually give a fuck if you want to sound like an idiot and tell people you "overdosed" on a drug when you've just taken more then is comfortable, especially weed. Any intelligent person is just going to laugh at you.

The LD50 has to do with that as well.

When those animals were given that much of the drug, they showed certain symptoms before they eventually died. These are called OVERDOSE SYMPTOMS.

When you show the same OVERDOSE symptoms, then you MAY be overdosing, but you are more likely leading up to a potential overdose.

However, more than is comfortable for you is most definately NOT an overdose. As stupid noob said, it's just you being a fucking pussy nooblet.

ok man. All those dictionaries are just liars. they are just saying bullshit and you are right. An overdose is not taking over the normal dose used or an excessive dose. Its all just bullshit. And the definiton FROM THE MEDICAL WEBSITE WHICH SAYS THE SAME EXACT THING AS THE OTHER DEFINITIONS IS JUST BULLSHIT ALSO.

And apparently you do give a fuck because you are sitting there arguing with me about it.

Of course the medical websites say that, douche. A doctor doesn't want you to take 10 vicodin in an hour (as opposed to the prescribed amount) so that you can get high from it.

Gee. Then I guess the evil marijuana must be highly addictive and likely to cause insanity too.

I give a fuck about the meaning of the word. Not if you look like an idiot using it out of context.
