    Exclamation Can you overdose on weed?...

    Can you overdose on weed?... Too much marijuana can cause extreme confusion, increased blood pressure and heart rate, and unintentional injury. But dying from the substance alone is very unlikely, if possible at all.

    Toxicology results for a woman who died suggested she was killed by an excess amount of THC, the primary psychoactive component of weed, the coroner, Christy Montegut, told the New Orleans Advocate. Montegut failed to find anything else—drugs, alcohol, disease—that could have attributed to her death.

    Stories about a supposed first-ever lethal marijuana overdose occasionally crop up. They’re usually followed by rebuttals that no, as far as we know it’s not possible to die from ingesting too much THC at one time—and dying from another cause while having THC in your system is not quite the same thing.

    According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a government agency that handles drug use and addiction, there has yet to be an adult death attributable solely to marijuana. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also states that while using too much marijuana can cause extreme confusion, emotional distress, increased blood pressure, heart rate, severe nausea, or unintentional injury, “a fatal overdose is unlikely.”

    In my days it was then before you could do damage.

    The new stuff is so much stronger but I still have a hard time thinking that you could smoke enough to kill you.

    Good news is it would not be painful.

    With most other drugs, abuse is a risk factor for overdose. That’s because users keep taking more and more of the drug in an attempt to get the high a lower dose once offered.
    An overdose on marijuana is impossible in the traditional sense, says Jason Levine, PhD, a psychologist and addiction treatment expert. People do not die solely because they take too much marijuana. Yet high doses of marijuana can and do cause serious health problems, including fatal accidents.
    Can You Overdose on Marijuana?

    A fatal marijuana overdose is unlikely, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But marijuana can have other harmful effects, particularly at high doses.
    A 2019 letter written by doctors and published inThe New England Journal of Medicinedetails the tale of a reported overdose of marijuana. The patient, a 52-year-old man, had been injecting marijuana to stimulate his appetite as he underwent brain tumor treatment. He experienced restlessness, speech problems, and confusion for 2 days before seeking emergency care.
