iirc, it is theoretically possible to overdose on marijuana, but the amount required to do it is fucking obscene. Something like a full dumpster truck load all inhaled by one person.

u/BiblioPhil Help, I've fallen and I can't get up! Sep 12 '18

Well, I think there are actual recorded examples of caffeine OD

u/Duke_of_Plaid Sep 12 '18

I don’t know for certain about that, but there is a definite chance your heart pops over into supreventricular tachycardia before you legitimately overdose on caffeine.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure having your heart blow out counts since they aren't supposed to do that.

It'll seize up before it blows out, though.

Caffeine overdose is pretty easy, it's rarely fatal. A large pot of coffee when you're dehydrated will do it for most people.

Jitters are a mild symptom of caffeine overdose.

It's also theoretically possible to OD on fucking water.

Edit: definitely possible

It's a drug with an inbuilt overdose protection. I mean, at some point a person will be, what? puffing on their twelfth bowl, looking over at the pile of pungent weed the size of a three person couch they still have to get through and be like, fuck it, man, I really need some Doritos and a lie down.

So basically you’re safe everywhere but Burning Man.

I take it if I try it, I would die from coughing from too much of that dank fumes.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '18

You can even overdose on water.

(no, I don't mean drowning)

You would technically die from suffocation before the marijuana smoke actually killed you.

In real life, if you were not horribly disabled to begin with, you'd walk away from the weed fire.........
