I'm sure if you took enough THC I to your body in one dosage, you could probably OD. I didn't see it suggested that this was just from smoking it. Even smoking a high quality dab would not cause you to od before you likely just passed out. It's like an alcoholic drinking so much all day to where they pass out long before they od. If that same person were to chug so much in one serving, they could probably take in enough to od. Maybe that's just not possible with THC, I don't know enough about it. However, you can just about od on anything if you consume enough in one serving. I'm pretty certain you can even die from taking in too much black pepper, it might be a shite load, but it's possible. If a person is stupid enough to take the amount of THC in one dosage that would be enough to kill someone, then I will allow it and would not use that as a reason to not legalize marijuana. It's certainly less detrimental to society than alcohol. Should legalize it already, and if people can find a way to od on it, who cares, that's their problem.

Meh. You can die from too much of anything. Weed included. But I would have to guess it would take a monumental amount to kill someone.
