Question about the misuse of drugs act.

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.

Out of interest then could you overdose by eating it? It's got little to do with the debate or whether it can harm you but I'm curious.
 
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?

If you mean me, then yes I do. It's what the word means.

I highly doubt your body could metabolise it quick enough, not to mention the fact that you probably couldn't actually eat the quantity required.

So in theory, I imagine its more "likely" to do it through ingesting than smoking, yes.

You most certainly could. And unlike smoking where a lethal or even very dangerous overdose is unlikely, by eating it there's vitrtually no limit to consumption, so it's very like the drinking vodka and dying in your sleep example.
 
So The Halk, if you went out and had a heavy night, drank too much and were sick, you would tell your mates that you have overdosed on alcohol?

No. I wouldn't use it in that context.

Are you arging what the word means? Are you now telling me that I cannot say an overdose is what the dictionary says it is?

All overdose means is too much. I overdosed on pro plus and couldn't get to sleep. I overdosed on herion and nearly died. I overdosed on alcohol and woke up on the kitchen floor. I overdosed on hash and spewed my ring.
 
Calm yourself, you took my original out of context/misquoted or whatever, and I responded in the same vein as my original post. Thanks for the laugh, yes it is embarrassing, but I'll get over it.

I am fully aware that the toxic dose of THC is impossibly high.

Regardless, I would regard vomiting as a negative health status/impact on my body. I am far to sensible/health conscious (:D) to put anything in my body in such levels that it would cause a medical overdose.

I apologise, I shouldn't have laughed, I've been trying to be on my best behaviour for this thread.

I wasn't laughing that you did it (we all do it from time to time), just that you class it as an overdose, which in literal terms would be correct but as I explained in a previous post, it is not what I would deem an overdose, that would just be over doing it.
 
Since when can you be searched because you look dodgy?

hello there,
i am a police officer so i can answer this for you...

number one, TUT TUT on you for letting your mate in the car with you when he had cannabis on him....

what's wrong with cannabis you nazi?

But those are the view of the law, you can disagree with them all you like and make your verbal protests, doesnt stop them being the law and slapping fines, confiscations and criminal records on you for disobeying them.

As it's illegal surely by definition it's unsafe before we even bang on about how wonderful it is and how bad everything else is

The law is morally correct, it cannot be challenged. You're pretty much committing treason if you even dare to question...

... the law.
 
I was just simply stating that you would no more say that you had "overdosed" on cannabis that you would say that you had "overdosed" after a heavy drinking session (unless you actually drunk such a large amount that you required medical intervention through fear of death)

It is not the correct terminology.

There is no such thing as a GOOD drug.

Depends what you measure GOOD as. I could measure good as having a good time and not bothering about the day after blues. Also, not many drugs are really that harmful if taken in small amount every now and then. Our body doesn't simply omgwtfdie if we have some drugs in it every now and then, the body is a remarkable thing and can recover easily from intake every now and then. It gets serious when you do it day in day out, this is why I believe they are illegal. Take moral views and what you have been brought up on out of the equations and base it solely on science, a molecular structure goes into your body changes some things around, effect wears off, things that changed change back to normal and that's it. If you do it all the time you start to get problems.

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

The police aren't there to make the law, or to interpret it. So, it doesn't really matter what the police think.
