Really? Never heard of that before. Left her vomiting and all.
QuoteMedics are worried Amy's brain was damaged by the cannabis overdose — she displayed symptoms normally associated with schizophrenia.
Fail.
How the hell do you overdose on Cannabis? There's no way any human can do that with Cannabis alone..
Yeah, they're totally right, it's definitely not the other dozen drugs she did.

I believe that the main risk from cannabis is "exacerbating the effects of depression, psychosis, schizophrenia, bronchitis, and emphysema" (source (http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/references/journal/1998_hall_lancet_1/1998_hall_lancet_1.pdf)). In other words, it can make a condition that's already present worse, or more apparent.
Can't overdose on cannabis. It's the meth and shit she's doing.

I think you stumbled on a new psychiatric trick! Fuck diagnosis, just get your patient high as fuck and see what comes of it.

Awesome idea!
That also gives me an idea for a new AIDS test -- expose them to a bunch of germs and see how sick they get!

QuoteThis post brought to you by... smoking! It's cool!
You can overdose on THC iirc, but not by smoking. You'd have to ingest the oil either as a liquid through extraction, or as a vapor using a vaporizer. You would still need to consume a shitload though, and all you'd undergo is the previously mentioned psychosis.

Most people, don't have access to pure THC anyway, as an oil anyway. And in the case that they do like you said it has to be a shitload. I read a while ago a person would have to smoke something like 45lbs of pot in under 30 minutes or something (impossible) to OD.

Well, the article DID say that she consumed an "inhuman amount".

Not sure about eating it, but I know with smoking you'd pass about before you got anywhere near overdose levels. It's something like smoking twice your weight in marijuana in 15 minutes.
I very highly doubt that ANY person's stomach could hold 45 pounds of cannabis, and even still, it wouldn't all digest all at once....
You obviously wouldn't eat 45 lbs of cannabis, an ounce or two is bigger by volume than your stomach. You would convert it into oil, which is actually relatively easy, and that would still be a shitload of oil, but feasible.
