Worth Repeating: Approved Drugs, 10,008 Deaths; Marijuana 0

There has never been a single documented primary human fatality from overdosing on cannabis in its natural form in any amount.

When a new drug is being developed, phase two of studying it determines how safe the drug is, what would be a possible therapeutic dose vs. a fatal dose. Remember, the difference between a medicine and a poison is only the dose.

The LD 50 of a drug stands for how much of the substance being tested will kill 50 percent of a population of test subjects by overdose compared to their body mass (rats are used), and the amount of the drug that killed 50 percent is averaged according to animal body weight, and then that information is extrapolated for an average human's weight.

The amount is theoretical, because the test could never be ethically performed in real humans.

When THC is tested for its LD 50 in rats, researchers have a problem: They can't seem to kill the rats with THC, no matter how hard they try! THC is just too damn safe.

 

I'm gonna try it right the fuck now

 

Wish I could. I'd kill for a choke right now..

 

Thats bull I overdose on pot brownies just the other day and I'm not a cop it was a misprint.

That's not an overdose, it's called he's a wimp and freaked out cause he ate a quater ounce of bot brownies.

By the way that is the most funny thing in the world. "I think we're dead... time is moving really slow"

"Is you wife still breathing"

"Yeah I can feel her she's right in front of me here"


LMAO

 

I know that guy was a dumb ass I wonder what hip cop buddies had to say

 

Boo always great to see the actual facts regarding how safe cannabis is posted for the non-believers to see..thanks. I did get a kick out of "indicates that about 1,500 pounds (680 kg) if cannabis would have to be smoked within 14 minutes"...I might have tried that in the seventies..not now. DD

 

so they did manage to kill the rats with a massive inhaled dose?

that video is classic.

i often find myself saying, while tripping "time is going by really, really... s l o w"

 

I can see a bunch of squares getting together and having a fit... "Why won't these rats just DIE?! We need everything we can use against these damn stoners!" And someone simply kills a rat and blames it on "research purposes." Those poor rats... the stupid monkeys got a movie about them going to space... What about the rats?! What about the rats, I say!

 

Oh, and the "animated" Police Officer vs pot brownies is ridiculously funny lol

 

I find it simultaneously amusing and depressing how uneducated the public sector is about drugs. I got a hold of an information pamphlet given to police, nurses, docs and other public servants in my country, and the amount of fallacies was absolutely shocking.

 

I think that its more asphyxiation than an OD to be honest. You inhale enough pot smoke to OD - that is a HELL of a lot of smoke, you wouldn't be able to breath for a few minutes, and would surely die...

 

Cannibis is so made for the Human being , it could possibly sustain the smokers life until he started breathing again.

 

Im still under the assumption that you would probably die of COx poisoning before you would get anywhere near 1500lbs in 14min....

 

I'll take that challenge. I might need 20 minutes tho.
