A member asked:
Can you fatally overdose on marijuana ? i heard that is is extremely difficult to do so
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: certainly possible if someone is eating it. less likely from smoking, because most people would pass out and stop smoking, before ingesting a fatal dose. Though with ultrapotent varieties, if someone really wanted to kill themselves by agressively smoking they might be able to do so.
