Marijuana is impossible to overdose on. The median lethal dose
(LD50) of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) is so high
and the methods of intake so dilute that it would take
impossible feats to have it occur.
While there are a
couple of different and conflicting sources, one estimate placed
it at 40,000 times as much as the dose needed to get high. For
instance, with cannabis brownies you would die of sugar
poisoning long before the THC got you. With smoking, you would
need to smoke about 1,500 pounds in a duration of 15 minutes.
This is contrasted with alcohol, where five to ten times the
amounted needed to get you drunk can kill you.
