THC overdose

I do a lot of THC 'trips'
The one I had yesterday was quit strong !
Strong visuals,heard vioce's from the past,and heard a DMT 'BANG' in my ears... etc.
I never now exactly how much THC I take,that's why I want to ask you...Is possible to get dangerous THC dose ?

Unless you're working with a pure THC extract or something it'd be damn near impossible to OD on it. You'd have to eat so much weed you'd be sick off your ass and fubar'd before you'd OD. Check [Erowid] for exact LD50 of THC.

Didn't find it there,I'll have to take a second look !
It isn't pure THC but THC butter (very potent one)
It's good to now that it's hard to overdose !

i have smoked a whole hell of a lot
of really high quality nuggets, eaten
brownies with pot-butter, rice krispy
treats with pot butter and i have never
overdosed. i have gotten slight hallucinagenic
moderations and the ringing in your ears
like you say. but i'm still alive.

You'd have to have stronger (purer) stuff to even have to worry about it... and even then I doubt it. THC overdose's have NEVER been reported that I know of... probably because it's never happened. Don't worry, have fun, and come back and tell us about it.

Try not to over do it. Though it’s not physically dangerous, excess THC tends to build up in all the fatty tissues in your body, which include brain cell membranes. Essentially, your brain becomes coated with the stuff, which drastically reduces your thinking power. This can last years after consumption if you take enough. It will eventually pass through your body, but the more you take, the longer it takes to pass. Too much of anything is bad, even if it’s a lot of fun.

yeah you can't od...but gettin wasted...too wasted sucks...I got some goo balls at a show one time a long time ago...this kid was like 'only eat one' so I was like 'yeah whatever' and ate 1 1\2 and I was WASTED..you get funny highs..real vibratory...I lost my equilibrium...and could't sleep cause I was too high...

An excerpt from a paper I wrote last year about the scheduling of drugs:

"The whole idea of drugs being “bad” is interesting. Drugs should certainly not be illegal, but really, when one really gets down to it, this has all been about morality since the beginning. Tobacco kills over 440,000 people each year, alcohol claims 50,000, and marijuana has yet to kill anyone in the history of documented literature. The Canadian Cancer Society states, “some [studies] estimate smoking 3 to 4 marijuana cigarettes per day is roughly equivalent to smoking 20 tobacco cigarettes.” While this statement is highly ambiguous as to the chemical makeup of marijuana, it does base marijuana in simpler terms. Marijuana, while having some carcinogenic chemicals, has far less than tobacco, making it’s long-term effects less than tobacco; however, marijuana is rarely smoked with a filter, unless smoked in a water pipe (however, it is speculated that by using a water pipe one filters tar as well as THC, ergo one must smoke more), and the smoke has a better ability to coat the lungs than a filtered cigarette. Unfortunately, the fact is that marijuana, medically, is no more harmful than many legal substances in the United States. The nicotine contained in a single cigarette when eaten can kill a baby. The nicotine contained in five cigarettes can kill a healthy adult. The caffeine in about a hundred cups of coffee, taken in pill form, is lethal. A liter of whisky in one night can kill an adult. A tube of sleeping pills can cause liver failure. Swallowing about fifty aspirin tablets will lead to unstoppable stomach bleeding that can be fatal. By comparison, an adult would have to smoke two pounds of marijuana to run a risk of a fatal overdose. So, it isn’t because marijuana causes medical risks, despite the government saying it has no value, it has similar value to legal substances only without the detrimental affects, which I puzzling to say the least. The DEA claims that the reason marijuana is illegal is because things that are smoked have no accepted medical value, therefore a drug called Marinol was invented."

So that stuff about it not making you think well isn't true. I'll have to search out the article that explains the whole process but, believe me, you're not gonna OD on THC. I've drank Qt's of ganja oil(made for cooking, from very potent kind and saturated til it's brown) and the only thing it did to me was help me sleep and give me the shits. The shits were probably from the oil, anyway. So try to OD on THC and you'll have a good time. No worries!!

BTW, I have never gotten too high from weed, even when I was eating heady ganja food all day, popping marinol pills(pure THC pills), and smoking dank heady blunt after blunt, so it ain't gonna kill anyone...

It does get sorta pointless and inefficient after a while though, dont you agree?
Ever feel like you've smoked yourself sober?
btw-Good writeup shredder, all the stuff I've always wanted to say to the opponents of pot but have been too angry at their ignorance and lack of personal experience to get across eloquently.

Vroota! - you should read the whole thing - it's only 12 double-spaced pages and a quick read despite. It's at least about something you're actively interested in, right?

As for overdosing on weed I certainly have; while it was nowhere near a lethal dose it was certainly incapacitating. Sophopmore year I went home for christmas and didn't smoke for three weeks. I came back and on the road I called my friend to have an 8th ready for me because my ass needed to fucking smoke (I hate long drives without any weed), and so it's all set, and I get back, and we get down to the Tubin'. Now, for those of you unfamiliar with my gravity bong, it gives lots of people very uncomfortable highs and has given a couple of people panic attacks (one girl got abducted by aliens in her car and the other guy lay in bed and got sent to Mars). I, myself, decided that I really needed a good baker's dozen g-tubes to get me high, after having not smoked in a month, and I proceeded to get so high I could barely walk. Somehow I did manage to get to my bathroom where I stayed for an hour and a half or so, vomiting profusely as the world spun about around me. I ended up laying my arm across the toilet and putting my head on my arm facing the bowl (the whole time thanking myself that my mother taught me to clean house before leaving on a trip on not when you return) vomiting each time I so much as turn my head or try to sit up. It got easier to just go with it and try to remain still. Pretty hard-core, not a whole lot of fun, but I remember it actually wasn't that unpleasant of an experiance, either. Especially considering it included lots of puking.

Well, I guess some people get affected more. I can smoke pure bubblehash until I pass out and I never get too high, I just fall asleep. I wanna get too high!!! I'm jealous...

A friend of mine used to smoke like mad in high school then joined the marines... He came over one night and I told him he could get it out of his system in 3 days... He had several weeks before needing to go back so he smoked a joint. Just 1 and mostly by himself. He then sat for a min and got up to take a piss... walked into the bathroom and I heard him pissing... then he stopped,then I heard a loud bang... I went in to investigate and he was litterally passed out on the floor. He said he remembered taking a piss and then nothing... He woke up and saw me standing there.

Now that's fucked up.

After a point it just seems like smoking to maintain normality too me. Like smoking and eating ganja foods all day long like Pbeester describes, by the end of the day smoking a hugeass blunt really aint doing much too get me any higher. Just sorta keeping me in the state i'm in.

Ijust puff at night usually....I got alot of shit to do usually and bein high doesn't usually help me... Once in a while I'll get baked all day...most days I may not even smoke only a hit or 2...I stockpile tho...like havin a selection.

I stockpile tho...like havin a selection.

I'm the same way. I tend to buy an ounce at a time, rebuying once I get down to about a quarter; this allows me to have lots of different kinds of pot, which is nice because as we all know if you smoke the same pot over and over you won't get the same effects. Thought I was the only "cannabis squirrel" out there - weed pack-rats.

[mushit]

I just wish I could get the same buzz as I did when I first tried it!!!

I think that's impossable, but maybe it's not, I don't know. Hard to get back to that first time. Some well-grown bubbleberry will get you pretty close though.

could always quit for a couple few weeks, to lose your tolerance. Shredder, send me that report if you want, I like to take an interest in my substances

I recently experienced a THC overdose. No, I did not die, as not all overdoses result in death.
My partner and I each ingested one capsule of cannabis in sesame seed oil. Recommendations were vague - some people take a half, some take a whole. Desiring to avoid the deadly under dose, we each took a capsule.
Things were pleasant and relaxed for about an hour and a half. At the two hour mark we were both seriously high, had trouble walking, then vertigo, nausea, each of us throwing up two or three times. All we could do was remain completely still. Any movement evoked nausea, even lifting my head to see if I could get up. Stillness brought a sort of relaxation, but with very uninteresting stoned thoughts, more like fragments, uncreative, random, lacking meaning. From then on it was just waiting for the effects to wear off, which took several hours. Wicked dry mouth, head ache, felt very much like food poisoning. Twelve hours after ingestion, mostly over the nausea, but still affected.
Went to describe the experience to the vendor who apologized that the person responsible had not adequately explained the dosage. Start with a half. OK, wish I had known that. Went on to say that what I described were the symptoms of THC overdoes, and that he had a very similar experience after ingesting too much. Hope this saves someone the worry and the lost afternoon.

There are some strains of cannabis that seem to have more of a entheogenic effect than others... I think the LD50 is quite high... but large oral doses of cannabis can be quite uncomfortable.... be careful... cause its hard to titrate a dose.... I have lost the feeling in my legs for several hours and it is a skin crawling affair....lol But you prolly wont die from it.
Oral cannabis doses can be fun too... but be sensible... no need to set the oral dosage record.... and if you are looking to journey in that way... there are many plants and fungi that will get you there much more comfortably than bud butter. Cannabis is an essential trip sidekick for many of us with shrooms, cid and mesc... But I have not had hallucinations on it like DMT. What strain is it?
I like to take Pans and smoke hash oil... the synergistic effects are complimentory and they seem to work together well.
My experience with large doses of cannabis tells me to be careful... I know I wont die... but a day or two of not being able to walk around cause my legs feel like rubber is not fun times...
It may not effect you that way....
Anyhow I would be courious about the strain....

I have never OD'ed, but I have been very, very, very high on Weed before. We started out hot boxing it in a car, and we had that car so full of smoke! I was sitting in the backseat of the car and we were passing it around(4 people total) and this went on for 1-2 hrs. I was sitting on the driver side back seat, and I could barely see my friend sitting in the front passenger side seat from all the smoke! After that we went inside and proceeded to eat hash brownies. Then we then started smoking more inside. All of us were grinning wide and laughing at everything and conversing about various aspects of life. Walls were somewhat wavy, Could barely walk, and everything seemed as if it were zoomed in a good 2-3 feet(this is always common recurrence for me, but never zoomed in this far). I then wanted to get away from the noise and went outside to smoke a small joint by myself(it was very dark out now) and when I would light the joint, I would then see feint red outlined, blue stars coming towards my eyes in a spiral like form. I was quite astounded at this. I then went back inside and joined the conversation again. After a while of passing the bowl around again and talking and laughing, I then decided lay on the floor(why the floor? I dont know lol) and closed my eyes, and was meet with wonderful, not very clear, but wonderful at that, closed eye visuals! It was quite something, At first I thought that the weed was laced and shit, then again a couple weeks later I had some from very trusted individual and wanted to know if I could get the visuals again. After a lot of bowls, a lot of food, and a lot of orange juice(I always drink oj went smoking weed) I then decided to test the stars again. I went outside in the dark, and proceeded to smoke a bowl. And there were the stars again! Then I decide to go to bed, it was about 1am now, and I was met with the feint closed eye visuals again. This is were I learned that weed is a psychedelic. This only happens to me in high amounts of weed(1/4 to a 1/2 ounce of potent bud). But I have never OD'ed on weed. Thus I will say, no, you cannot OD on THC.

A number of years ago, I was a hippie slumlord in Toronto. One of the roomies had a water pipe made from scrounged high school lab glassware. The base was a flask which he filled with tequila. After a number of months puffing on various substances, the tequila went dark brown.
Then came a dry spell… no smokables to be had. So – he drank the tequila.

He slept for 2 days. We’d go shake him now and again to see if he was still alive and he’d just mumble at us…

[Coopdog]

Well I only read half the replies here, but I am here to tell ya that you may not die kinda overdose, but you can get goddamn uncomfortable, and it don't take that much either.

I ate a gram of good red/black bubblehash one time, that can make you a bit uncomfortable, but one time I ate some brownies I made wiht 20 grams of good matanuska thunderfuck buds that were finely ground into a double batch of betty crocker double fudge brownies.

I ate two squares, then ate another an hour later, and man I was so goddamn high I didn't know how to act. Kept starting to get up and do stuff but never really did, realized my face was red and my blood pressure was off the charts high, my wife wanted to call 911 immediately, but I said no.

My lips were tingling my toes were numb, everything looked weird and distorted and sort of cloudy and hazey. I was up all night long ver uncomfortable, and had a marijuana hangover for days afterwards that made me feel like I had drank hard liquor the night before every morning when I woke up. The only thing that kept me out of the emergency room was sheer embarassment over having ate too much brownies lol.

You may not be able to physically kill yerself with weed, but injesting stuff, especially extracts like hash oil you can get goddamn uncomfortable for sure.

having a "green-out" or a meltdown can definitely be a sure way to wreck an evening. room spinning,nausea,vomiting etc. One must tread lightly when ingesting canna treats.....avoid doing it on an empty stomach,while drinking or using other substances etc. Lie down,close your eyes,keep a bucket close and like all bummers.....it too shall pass.
friggin lightweight...LOL I'm kidding!!!

[prism]

HAHAHA!! My frends wont eat my brownies anymore... Too scared...

I ate too much one night with the wife and we both crashed out and woke up Hung over. I didnt know weed could do that to you at the time. Hee hee.

BEWARE THE BROWNIE!!!

[Psoulocybe]

Yeah, I had a buddy of mine spend the night on my bathroom floor... My cookies are legendary after that

I've been just doing Peanut Butter sandwiches with a nice spread of butter on them.... Blew my ankle up a couple days ago and it's really helping me keep down the swelling and pain

[prism]

Yeah man,

I make Peanut butter crackers. MUCH less potent than the death brownies I make on occasion.

[ShroomGuerilla]

I love cooking with honey-oil.
Ive been making caramel candies lately.
Amazing stuff. They rock your socks off.

Brought some to a party, and greened out over 10 people.
