Cannabis has gone from being a devil's

The first thing a new consumer of any drug should worry about is the safety profile of this drug. And indeed, many new cannabis users have this question in mind: Is it possible to overdose cannabis? For short: no, it's impossible. The answer is a little longer: no, it is not possible to die from a cannabis overdose, but consuming too much is not a particularly pleasant experience; however there is no long term damage.

Cannabis has gone from being a devil's  

FROM A PRACTICAL POINT OF VIEW, YOU CAN NOT OVERDOSE CANNABIS

Any substance present in sufficient quantities can become toxic to the body, even water. It takes about 8 liters of water to kill an adult. These are the basic facts that some anti-cannabis activists use to play on words and declare that cannabis can kill, but in reality this is not true. There is no humanly possible way to consume enough cannabis fast enough to become toxic, and therefore it is impossible to do a fatal overdose.

No deaths directly from cannabis use have ever been recorded. No. To give you an idea of ??the impossibility of overdosing cannabis, let's look at the lethal dose 50 of cannabis. DL-50 (Lethal Dose) is a medical term used to describe the dosage of a substance that would cause the death of 50% of the test animals that received it. Of course, many scientists have tried to establish the DL-50 cannabis, but never achieve it. Simply put, no matter how much cannabis scientists give to animals, no animal ever dies.

Cannabis DL-50 is estimated to be between 1: 20,000 and 1: 40,000. This means that a human should consume about 680 kilograms of grass in 15 minutes to achieve a lethal effect: a feat that even the most relentless smokers would struggle to achieve.

SCIENTIFIC FACTS: HOW DOES YOUR BODY ACTUALLY PROTECT AGAINST A CANNABIS OVERDOSE?

A recent study was noted for explaining the scientific facts behind the impossibility of overdosing cannabis. Published in the journal Science, this study based in France discovered that when the brain is exposed to THC, it quickly increases the production of pregnenolone, a hormone that seems to counter the intoxicating effects of cannabis.

Basically, when THC binds to our cannabinoid receptors, it triggers a 3,000 percent increase in pregnenolone production. This has the effect of reducing the effects of THC on the cannabinoid receptors, this creates an inverted loop that prevents body intoxication while reducing the capacity for addiction. It is for this reason that we should consume unrealizable amounts of cannabis in a very short time to pose any risk to life.

WHAT ABOUT RECENT REPORTS OF A BRITON'S DEATH BY CANNABIS POISONING?

Some media in the UK, especially those known to feed fears, relayed a bit of information about a woman who died of cannabis poisoning after smoking only half a joint. Information in direct contradiction to decades of solid evidence and research that proved that such a thing was impossible.

The autopsy could not find a natural cause for his death, and cannabis was found in his body. In a primary school science level access, forensic scientists concluded that cannabis should be the cause of his death. Since then, many doctors have taken a unanimous view that it was impossible for cannabis to be the cause of his death. Many health professionals seem to think that the woman may be dead because of underlying heart problems.

IT'S NOT BECAUSE IT DOES NOT KILL THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE TOO MUCH

It's not because you can not die from an overdose that you have to consume more cannabis than it is pleasant. Consuming too much can cause dizziness, sweating, nausea, heart rate and panic. While smoking or spraying, this happens very rarely, but ingested cannabis has the reputation of quickly causing dose overshoots. Ingested cannabis takes time to take effect, so some people continue to eat it thinking it does not work. Once the rise has arrived, a substantial dose has already been ingested.

If you ever feel overwhelmed by grass, try to keep calm and remember that cannabis can not be fatal and does not cause organ damage. Take a glass of orange juice or vitamin C, which has proven through experiments to help recover faster. Food redirects blood flow and helps to calm down. Then go to a quiet, quiet place, and try to sleep. If you are at home, go to bed and turn off the lights, and after several hours the effects will have passed.
