All things in moderation. Even water will kill you, if you drink to much of it. Marijuana has proven medicinal capabilities that should never be overlooked. It is also one of the most versatile plants on the planet. Salves, lotions, paper, medicines, textiles,etc. I prefer potheads over drunks.
I smoke once in a while and I know very successful people who do as well. Some of these posts seem like they are straight out of the dare textbook. Marijuana isn't evil. Big Pharma is. Anyone that is full blown against it make no sense to me and it seems judgment based on experience and not fact.

Except it's physically impossible to die from too much weed
-
It certainly is not impossible. You need a ridiculous amount, but it's not impossible. Not sure what that had to do with my post though.
-
You said even to much water will kill you. And yea it's actually physically impossible, scientifically there is a limit, but physically reaching it is another question A smoker would theoretically have to consume nearly 1,500 pounds of marijuana within about fifteen minutes to induce a lethal response.
-
Then it's not impossible is it lol. Like I said, ridiculous amount.
-
Actually you need to smoke 800lbs of weed in one sitting to die from it, but still the cause of death would be monoxide poisoning.

Edited by Kweh: 4/19/2015 11:08:09 PMI'm aware of the amounts. I guess i can reiterate the fact that since there is a documented ceiling where one might die, it makes it possible. Unlikely to ever in a million years happen, but possible. Therefore, not impossible. Edit. Also to the monoxide statement, ciggs don't kill, the various other problems from it is cause of death. That logic is a bit off. It wasn't needed to make your point lol.

Edited by mcclean94: 4/19/2015 11:55:47 PMIt was essential because people will take the assumption a compound in cannabis could kill. Carbon monoxide can be traced to all burnable substances, yes, but cigarettes are directly associated. Tobacco is grown in radioactive fertz and has a direct correlation to cancers. Cannabis doesn't, and has compounds that prevent tumour growths. At this point were talking about [b]keeping[/b] something illegal because it [b]could one day kill one person.[/b] That isn't enough to justify your neighbours, or me, going to jail.

I don't know how you got me discussing keeping it illegal, my original post displays quite the opposite. I'm very "for" it.
-
Sorry about that. Got a few debates going on atm and all the OPs are becoming a blur in the heat of it. For weed, I believe the user kills himself, as does a fatty slamming coke after coke because it "feels good". When people say they're for "keeping it illegal" for these petty reasons, they don't understand what the means of doing just that even are. Every comment I hear about keeping it illegal reminds me of little tweeting Harry Anslingers.

Its cool =)

Explain how it would be possible to consume so much then. There is no physical way to accomplish such a task. But I digress. Off to attempt this, as I do everyday. Not there yet haha. Happy tokin' though [spoiler] if you don't partake, then just happy chilling![/spoiler]
-
It isn't my job to prove it to you lol. Scientists do that. To answer your question though, it would be easiest to synthesize (concentrate) the amount into an appropriate medium for consumption to test it. My only point is that a threshold exists. That creates the possibility, no matter how unlikely. The possibility exists. That being said, Happy 420.
