For smokers and weed smokers.......

There has never been a documented human fatality from overdosing on tetrahydrocannabinol or cannabis. Information about THC's toxicity is derived from animal studies. The toxicity depends on the route of administration and the laboratory animal. Absorption is limited by serum lipids, which can become saturated with THC, mitigating toxicity. According to the Merck Index, 12th edition, THC has a LD50 (dose killing half of the research subjects) value of 1270 mg/kg (male rats) and 730 mg/kg (female rats) administered orally dissolved in sesame oil. The LD50 value for rats by inhalation of THC is 42 mg/kg of body weight. One estimate of cannabis's LD50 for humans indicates that about 1500 pounds (680 kilograms) of cannabis would have to be smoked within 14 minutes. Try that with cigaretes... According to studies by Henningfield and Benowitz, nicotine is more addictive than cannabis, caffeine, ethanol, cocaine, and heroin when considering both somatic and psychological dependence. Male and female smokers lose an average of 13.2 and 14.5 years of life, respectively. In the United States alone, tobacco kills the equivalent of three jumbo jets full of people crashing every day, about 520 people, with no survivors, 365 days of the year. -ABC's Peter Jennings. On a worldwide basis, it's 1 jumbo jet per hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. :) My little study.... Cvija
