Default a dumb question i just have to ask

ok, i know this is a dumb question, but please be serious when answering it. i've been smoking every day since the middle of the summer with the exception of maybe 2 or 3 days that the only reason i missed was because i had no money. i think it's about time that i get a definite answer on this. is it at all possible, under any circumstance, wheather or not you have a body or mind disfunction, are sensitive, or anything, possible to overdose on marijuana? everyone says no which i believe due to my own experiences, but i thought i'd ask here just to be 100% sure. people say the worst thing that can happen from smoking reefer is you pass out, which has yet to happen to me, and i usually smoke alot in one sitting. all answers will be appreciated, thanks.

Default First, I think you have to define 'overdose'...

...and realize it can be a relative term.

With some substances...an OD can mean terrible sickness and even death!

With weed...I believe you CAN OD, but in a VERY different way when compared to other stuff.

Example...If I'm outta weed for a week or so, I have to go easy on it (if it's REAL good) 'cause I might get a tad uneasy at times. Nothing major...just a brief uncomfortable feeling. And JUST until my body's THC level gets built back up. But, since it's attributed to "smoking more than usual" or having more in your system than usual...then YES, I'd call it an overdose of sorts.

As far as DEATH...it ain't gonna happen smoking MJ, IMHO!

I've read numerous things over time that have said the same thing: overdose is theoretically possible, but is not realistically possible. A quote...

"Concerns about the safety of marijuana are also misplaced, because the drug is remarkably non-toxic. Overdosing on marijuana in its natural state is virtually impossible. The estimated lethal dose is from 20,000 to 40,000 times a normal dose." -- official newsletter of the New York State Nurses Association (Feb 2000).

You'd have to ingest that within, I believe, a 15 minute period.

I don't know about you, but my weed's never that good.

the most recent time magazine said that for a person to die from marijuana they would have to smoke 900 joints in one sitting.

Around the time I first started I puked a few times. But now I can never get enough of the stuff. I could smoke 20 pounds if you gave it to me.

I've heard it was 2000 pounds ud have to smoke in a short period of time in order to die from it. So you would have to have a hell of a set of lungs.
