Myth Busted: Marijuana Overdose
In a small suburb of New York City, today it was proven that it is impossible to overdose on marijuana. It has been a common myth among many recreational cannabis consumers and medical marijuana patients that marijuana overdose can occur if a smoker can manage to smoke his or her own weight in marijuana in one day. However, this in and of itself is impossible…
1. When you smoke marijuana, you get the munchies.
2. When you get the munchies, you eat food.
3. When you eat food, you gain weight.
4. So, the act of smoking marijuana causes you to gain weight.
Now, when you smoke a gram of marijuana it is more than likely that you will increase your weight by much more than just one gram. The munchies will cause you to eat, and the cotton mouth will cause you to quench your thirst. Both actions will lead to an increase in your body weight. And, you will now have to smoke the same weight in marijuana as the food and water you just ingested.
This process is often cyclical, but will never lead to an overdose. Eventually you will simply go to sleep.

This is one of the biggest aemugrnts that those who do not agree with the legalization of marijuana have. The inability to properly test users. Marijuana can remain in your system for upwards of one month, longer for habitual users. How does one determine if a users is “high” while on the job? The answer is they can’t. The cops can administer a test that will prove whether or not the user has used marijuana in the last three months or so, but its not possible to prove whether or not they are presently under it’s influence. Most users can perform quite normally under the influence, so even a “sobriety” test would be useless.
