Symptoms of Marijuana Overdose

Marijuana overdose cannot directly threaten a person's life, but it can cause a number of physical and psychological complications. Regarding cannabis, the possibility of overdose is one of the most frequently discussed topics. Is marijuana overdose even possible? If so, what are its symptoms and risks?

Not All Overdoses Are the Same

First of all, to clarify - it is possible to "overdose" in terms of excessive consumption. It is also crucial to understand what type of cannabis is involved. Currently, we can distinguish two types:

  • CBD cannabis (low THC content max. up to 1%)

  • cannabis with high THC content (over 1%)

This fact is crucial due to these two cannabinoids. While THC acts psychotropically and influences an individual's behavior and perception, CBD does not have this effect. Cannabidiol (CBD) does not change endocannabinoid system receptor functions, but only stimulates them to restore homeostasis, which is absolutely essential for the body.

Nevertheless, cannabis affects the human brain in a completely different way than alcohol or opiates.

With opiate overdose, a person falls unconscious and the body essentially "forgets" to breathe. Very high alcohol consumption can lead to poisoning of the organism. However, cannabis, regardless of type, does not work this way. Not a single death has been recorded that was caused by excessive cannabis consumption.
