Well, where's the link to the thesis?
I'll try and have a quick look for it, it was someone helping mark my Legal Theory presentation last year.

I doubt that very much, did you end up in hospital?
Indeed, you would just pass out afaik and hence not be able to OD
Lol, overdose on weed? Laughable!
You may well pull a whitey, but unlike alcohol, fall asleep after smoking/whiting after smoking too much, you'll be fine, pass out after say, drinking a bottle of vodka, you may never wake up, either due to alcohol poisoning or from choking on your own vomit.
Weed may spin out your head for a small amount of time if you smoke too much, but it wont mess up your body like alcohol will.
Alcohol is poison, plain and simple, too much and your body cant cope.
It is physcially impossible to poison your body with cannabis, possibly your mind (if you are that way inclined and suceptable) but not your body.

Yep. Although it might just be a Scottish expression.
Whitey is when you overdose on alcohol, hash or similar. Normally followed by puking, feeling ill, wanting to lie down, sleeping etc.
Sounds hilarious, you must have exhausted all the usual avenues and been climbing the walls to be that desperate
Actually, generally only thought it was a good idea because I was high
The THC content of you average "doob" is tiny in relation to the toxic levels required to actually do any physically harm to your body, you would literally have to smoke thousands of them to do some real damage. You'll pass out or fall asleep first.

I think someone missed the joke.
I haven't the faintest what a medical overdose is, or even if there is such a defined thing.
I only know what an overdose is. People seem to be mistaking all overdoses for life threatening ones.
What is the first thing you think of when someone says they have taken an overdose?
For me, I would imagine someone had taken far too many pills or something like that, they need to be rushed to hospital to have their stomach pumped.
Can you imagine turning up in A&E whilst pulling a whitey and trying to explain that you have "overdosed" ?
I'm sorry, I know it's "technically" the same thing but I wouldn't class it the same.
Even if you smoked very high THC levels, you would still fall asleep or pass out before any real damage occurs
No. It isn't in that context.
Your personal opinion, many choose to decide what is right and wrong for themselves rather than relying on others to do it for them.
you would be quite buggered though if the 'others' are actually officers of the law and you broke one of 'their' laws, again, regardless of your personal beliefs and stances on said law
So we're just talking about the literal meaning? Ok fine, he overdosed.
Id say an overdose would imply that you have taken too much of something for your body to handle without immediate medical attention.
Which is entirely possible with most prescription drugs, alcohol and many illegal drugs
But I think you will find that it is near on impossible with cannabis.
Are you trying to say that if I went out, drank too much and threw up I would be overdosing on alcohol?
