Dying from MJ

Discussion in 'Beginner Cannabis Consumption & Tips' started by fattimatt, Aug 26, 2012.

  1. Hey what's up everyone? I'm new to these forums, but been puffin for like a year now. This is my first post. I have a question though. I know you can't die from an overdose of marijuana, but is it possible to die of something related? Like getting too high and having a heart attack or stroke? I've always wondered this, because as far as I'm concerned the only way to die from "marijuana" is to act stupid when your high and play in traffic or something retarded like that. Thanks in advance to all the answers!
     
  2. No it isn't. Cannabis is relatively safe. Nobody gets high enough to play in traffic, it's not possible to be "so high you play in traffic".

    Cannabis doesn't cause strokes or anything. I don't even know where you got that. If it did propaganda machines would be all over it.
     
  3. Well, when you are high, your heart beat is elevated...At least mine is..That's where I got that from breh.
     
  4. Lets say someone has been J-Walking at the same place everyday for a year. Today he smokes cannabis and does it again, this time he gets hit by a bus and killed. Did the cannabis cause his death? No, but someone will try and pin it on the smoke, usually the media.
     

  5. Does your heart rate increase when you watch a scary movie? Could the movie kill you?
     
  6. Hence why I said "marijuana". <~~~ Notice the quotation marks..
     
  7. i heard a story where a guy lost a limb because he was walking too close to a train when he was high and people tried to blame the bud but he said it was his own fault for being stupid
     
  8. Yeah man that shit can kill. It can cause the synapses in the brain to fuse together and you forget go breathe. I can post a source if necessary.
     
  9. Your body and mind are quite capable of spontaneously killing you, with or without cannabis.

    I'd be more worried about dying of stress or heart disease.
     

  10. You've got to be kidding me, marijuana is not a hallucinate or makes you "play in traffic..." . You must be A. Under 16, or B. Know nothing about cannabis.

    Well I mean when I was younger I remember having paranoid anxiety attacks from the pot and my head was pounding hard and fast. It really freaked me out and I thought I could definitly have a heart attack. So I would say yes, under the right conditions.

    He never said anything about hallucinating, you're putting words in his mouth. He simply stated that people do dumb shit when they're high as fuck and it could lead to accidents. That coupled with impaired judgement and really bad (abeit temporary) short term memory loss could definitly lead to someone acting stupid and getting hit by a car.

    I understand you have like 300 posts and that you're just trying to gain a few more post counts and maybe a little rep for flaming people, but you're just making yourself look stupid. Take it elsewhere, kid.

    "marijuana is not a hallucinate" :laughing: Obviously you're the one that knows nothing about cannabis. First off, I believe the word you were looking for is "hallucinogen," and secondly, marijuana does have hallucinogenic properties. Know your shit before you start flaming people.

    Please! I would love to see that link.
     
  13. Dude MJ can cause you to do bad things. Like once i was stoned and took a drive and i totally ran someone over and kept driving. I then proceeded to try and rape a teenage girl and eventually due to my addiction and the adverse effects of the herb, i killed myself. Oh the things REEFER can do to you; it's MADNESS.

    Nah but seriously dude dont worry about it :) unless you know nothing about weed and are one of those annoying kids who try to act like they're drunk. Then no it wont kill you.
     
  14. Yeah man, I once had a heart attack from smoking weed. So I smoked more weed and I forgot all about my heart attack and it just went away. Don't worry.

    My good friend had a legit heart attack during school from smoking weed and the principle had to rush him to the hospital, he survived the heart attack but he now no longer smokes weed for health and anxiety reasons
     

  16. Uh, go eat some strong edibles and then get back to me. That shit is a whole different ball game. Definitely does has some hallucinogenic effects.
     


  17. Although this thread is filled with ironic comments, but if you have dangerously high blood pressure, and are at risk for heart attack or stroke, you could possibly have a heart attack, or stroke, whne stoned, because weed does raise your blood pressure (part of the reason your eyes get red). But, a heart attack could also be triggered by nicotine, caffeine, exercise, or more commonly, stress.
    If you were to have a heart attack expidited by smoking a lot of bud, it would be 99% your fault and 1% weed's fault. Same thing with playing in traffic. Weed is safer than riding your bike

    You just have to know what the eff you're doing when you're high, where reality ends and fantasy begins, etc. It's totally controllable. If you can't control yourself then being high isn't for you. Overall, walking around a crowded metro as a pedestrian during rush hour even while sober is probably hundreds of times more dangerous than bud. Yet people do it every day like it's nothing.

    And yes there are some hallucinogenic effects; e.g. I've seen reality divided into three distinct corridors or planes that shoot off into mutually perpendicular directions almost like everything has been projected onto three planes that intersect in an orthogonal basis of eigenvectors and make everything look very sharp and glass-like yet appear at different depths than they normally would. If that's not hallucination then I don't know what is, and yes I know what it's like to hallucinate in other ways.
