A lot of people say it is impossible to overdose on weed but that’s not totally true. It is true that no one has ever died directly from a weed overdose. Unlike other drugs like opioids or alcohol, weed doesn’t exactly have the symptoms of delayed breathing or heart rate that kills. But it doesn’t mean you still can take too much of a dosage. When people over do it with weed, especially when it comes to edibles or strong concentrates, it can cause really bad reactions. Some reactions cause include panic attacks, paranoia, throwing up, or even feeling like you’re losing control. Doctors usually call it “cannabis toxicity’. It is not deadly but it’s also not fun in any way.
The claim makes it sound like weed is totally safe no matter how much you use, and that’s where it gets misleading. Even though it won’t kill you necessarily to much wee can still make you really sick or even mess with your mental state for hours. The DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) has stated that there have been no recorded deaths from marijuana overdose, but the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) warns that using large amounts of marijuana can still cause serious physical and mental side effects. A study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, also found that deaths linked directly to cannabis alone are extremely rare. This confirms while weed overdose deaths almost never happen, the negative effects from heavy use are in fact very real. So yeah you probably won’t die from weed, but it is not something you can just take unlimited amount of without side effects/consequences.
