My boyfriend and I have this argument constantly, I believe that enough weed could kill someone. Like if they smoke it every hour every single day. Or if they intake to much. He also believes there's a lot of advantages then there are bad disadvantages. I agree to disagree. Why I say that because weed is known to rot out your teeth, increase the risk of falling, ( that’s only for if you get high) depending on the person it can cause a mental health become worse. But I do agree for a certain dose it’s better for mental health, memory, like ADHD, ADd, certain body trauma, like heart disease, body pains. Also it’s better then smoking cigarettes. But I still believe in my analogy, then his.
So no, weed itself has not killed anyone in the history of humankind, as far as those who keep records know.
But you could easily smoke so much it gave you cancer or some other lung issue, but that's from all the other crap. Or get high and drive a car and kill yourself with that. Or any number of thousands of ways you could die related to getting high and doing something else that killed you, like you say, you could just fall and hit your head. Because you were high. But not the pharmocology of the weed (THC) killing you.
As opposed to other drugs, like cocaine or nicotine, that can make your heart explode or stop or otherwise malfunction. Or alcohol, which can poison you to death.
So yeah, on the technicality, I have to agree with your boyfriend.
Too much of a lot of things can do harm. Alcohol when used properly can clean and disinfect things, to much in other cases can do harm. You can even be harmed by too much pure oxygen. The key is using things correctly.
Ok but weed is much different from Alcohol. Weed will definitely bring psychological harm & dependence to someone that straight up abuses it, but it has never outright killed anyone. Even Crack Cocaine has no overdoses, just deaths related from use (cardiac arrest or weak hearts usually being the most common).
You need to find a reliable source of information. Weed doesn't rot your teeth. That's the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. Weed can give you lung damage if you smoke like a locomotive, but it doesn't have much effect on your lungs if you smoke it moderately. The tar in weed smoke is not nearly as carcinogenic as cigarette tar. The only way weed could kill somebody under normal circumstances is if they eat way too much weed edibles and wig out and have a heart attack from stress. Weed causes seizures in a small number of people, and also can trigger schizophrenic episodes in people with schizophrenia.
I'm not really good at finding information because I don't know where to look, I can admit. The only reason why said weed can rot your teeth is because my boyfriend's teeth have holes in them because of them. But I think it's mostly for people who have soft teeth. Thanks for the valuable information. Though 🙂🤍
@msc545 I knew one guy who only had seizures after smoking weed and he was not epileptic, so put that in your pipe and smoke it buddy. I also knew a schizophrenic dude who would go bat shit after smoking weed
When you're talking about it rotting out your teeth etc, that's where you lost me. Because candy can rot your teeth if you have too much of it. In fact, water will also kill you if you drink too much of it. So that teeth argument is just arguing semantics.
Yeah I do apologize I should I worded it better. Like I was mentioning the advantages and disadvantages. I meant to say I’m sure it dose a harmful affect on your teeth if there soft. That’s what happened to my boyfriend because his is soft.
Smoking weed does help a person with ADHD. However, when weed isn't enough the start taking meth, and a lot of people die from that stuff. You can't stop using it and you end up crazy. In fact, I just got a text telling me that the funeral home picked him up from the morgue. He died suddenly so maybe he died from that. I don't know. He was acting very strange that we couldn't even have a conversation anymore. All he kept yelling is "Get off my back". I wasn't even on his back. September 8 a neighbor found him dead. Don't do it. And yes that's why I'm awake at 3:38 am writing this. Because I can't sleep I am so sad. 😥
If they mix weed with tobacco (spliffs and some blunts), that might increase cancer risk.
But otherwise, not really.
Weed itself won't kill them. Combusting or vaping it might, but science is still out on that. There's too much unknown thanks to Reagan's racist War on Drugs destroying research and blocking science access to these substances.
Weed if ingested via tinctures, solventless extractions, etc, is not going to kill someone.
It may trigger unpleasant symptoms or even psychosis in some with predispostion, but for most people it is not possible to be killed by weed.
Studies are still out about whether combusting weed has the same carcinogenic effect as tobacco. But there's enough ways to consume it while avoiding the that method to safely enjoy weed.
Anything is bad in excess. For example: ginger is great for curing and preventing nausea. Yet too much ginger is dangerous and possibly deadly. The amount is extremely high and probably would require someone actively trying to reach that level. So everything has a threshold that is dangerous, and that threshold differs based on what it is. So excess is possible. Overall it's one of the safest forms if narcotics in areas that it's legal because it is purified and regulated. Plus it's nonaddictive. Overall it is better than most alternatives.
Smoking yes I agree as it is harmful to the lungs and throat. BUT marijuana in itself, or the consumption of THC, it’s debatable.
My pros for marijuana and the consumption of thc products will always outweigh the cons just because I see the benefits for myself. I cannot speak for others. The way I see it: “A weed overdose is a good night’s sleep” Unless you’re received a bad batch.
You would need to smoke 250.000 times the usual amount someone would smoke, or 3 KGs of weed at a time. You would die first from lack of oxygen or smoke.
You still can die under the influence of weed, eg when driving a car.
And there is the risk of brain alterations, especially when a young person smokes weed on a regular basis.
weed in its pure natural form cannot kill someone.
If its laced with other things it can. however it can be a contributor to a persons death, being under the influence. weed doesn't make your teeth rot however causes tar and discoloration like when smoking cigarettes
Cigarettes, cigars, smoking weed, inhaling shishas and vaping have all something in common. They are health hazards. We have put cigarettes and nicotine as the absolute evil but that doesn't mean it doesn't apply to the other aforementioned drugs of very similar kind.
Yes, marijuana can kill people. No, it's not nearly as dangerous as tobacco, or even alcohol, and yes, it does have some health benefits- but then, so do tobacco and alcohol. You really have to overdo it to have pot kill you, though.
You'd fall asleep before you were able to smoke enough to kill you under normal use... Can you kill someone with weed? Sure, tie them to a post dump pounds of weed around them and set a bonfire with the stuff and burn them to death.
I think that now that it is legal in many places there will be both short term and long term issues. There are already users reporting that they have become dependent on it.. I expect that in 20 or 30 years there will be an increase in dementia patients because the substances in weed that cause people to get high will also cause brain damage.
I've been smoking weed for eight years and ever since my younger sister and my dad passed away in April eleven days apart from each other of this year I've been in a relaxed stone so I can cope with my lost easier. Far as I'm concerned weed dos does not kill.
