Grandmothers scare their grandchildren that an overdose of marijuana will lead to death, however, modern science does not agree with the grandmothers. Despite the fact that it is real to get unpleasant sensations from drinking, you will not be able to die from it, which cannot be said about other completely legal ways of relaxation: sweets, alcohol and tobacco. Let's take a closer look at why it is impossible to die from marijuana, how to recognize the signs of an overdose and what to do with them.
Why do people generally die from overdoses of drugs or drugs? Few people know, but most often it happens due to respiratory arrest.
Each substance that has entered the human body contains elements that act on a specific area in the brain. We emphasize that not on the whole brain, but only on a specific area that is sensitive to their effects. When using opioids (for example, heroin or hard drugs), opioid receptors in the brain react; when using cannabinoids, cannabinoid receptors.
It just so happens that the opioid receptors are too close to the brain stem, exactly where the breath control center is located. With an overdose of opioids, the brain seems to short out in the appropriate place - it ceases to function correctly, which also affects neighboring areas. The result - a person begins to suffocate and dies from this, or due to a lack of oxygen and stress, his blood pressure rises sharply, which leads to cardiac arrest.
The cannabinoid center is located far from the centers that control vital processes. That is why so far, in the world, there is not a single documented death from cannabis. However, there are indirect deaths from marijuana overdose - when people, while under the influence of cannabinoids, fell out of a window or fell and hit their heads hard. Well, here it’s, as you understand, not in cannabis, but in an extremely unfortunate set of circumstances …
If you try hard, you can also die from an overdose of cherries (for example, more than 10 seeds eaten cause poisoning, and more than 50 cause death). So it is also possible to die from marijuana, but people have not yet succeeded in this, which cannot be said about poor laboratory mice. There is such an indicator LD50, which reflects the lethal dose of drugs. For alcohol, this figure is 10 - a person exceeding the permissible dose by 10 times causes irreversible consequences in the body. For heroin LD50=5.
Lab mice had to suffer a lot so that scientists could calculate this indicator for marijuana: LD50 = 40,000. It is simply impossible to smoke that much.
When smoking in the traditional way (using a joint, a pipe, and even a bong), heavy impurities, in particular lead, remain in the smoke. An increase in its concentration leads to the appearance of unpleasant symptoms. Doctors have come up with their own term for marijuana overdose - "greening". It is typical for him:
Most often, people take too much when they decide to indulge in marijuana desserts. With this method of use, the arrival can drag on for several hours, during which an inexperienced rastaman manages to eat a fair amount of fun cookies.
The bottom line is that cannabis overdose is rare, but possible. In severe cases, of course, it is better to seek medical help, but most of the unpleasant symptoms go away on their own. If you notice symptoms of an overdose in a friend, it is advisable not to leave him alone. Find a quiet, safe place, stock up on drinking water, and just chat for an hour or two. Soon he will feel better, and you will return to the usual course.
