"The estimated lethal human dose of intravenous Marinol is 30 mg/kg (2100 mg/70 kg). Using this estimation of lethal dose, the equivalent inhaled THC would represent the smoking of 240 cannabis cigarettes with total systemic absorption of the average 8.8 mg of THC in each cigarette.

Since absorption is much less than 100 percent, the amount of smoked marijuana required to reach lethality is on the order of one to two thousand cigarettes.

The physical impossibility of a fatal overdose using smoked cannabis is obvious."

Sometimes what people don't tell you tells you more than what they do tell you.

Yes, you are absolutely correct, it is impossible to overdose on marijuana.

The real question from that fact leads a lot of us to ask... Why are we aresting over 700,000 american, every year, wasting billions of tax payer dollars, stoping people from smoking this plant. And the current laws make it easier for our children to obtain it!

Point was not whether you will od on pot, point was it IS a toxin like alcohol and others. Just a very mild toxin. Is that so hard to own up to?
