Even though it’s next to impossible to overdose on cannabis, that doesn’t mean it’s not something that people seek drug rehab facilities to assist with. It can cause psychosis, not to mention a raft of problems within someone’s life.

But whether you’re a seasoned smoker or not, there may be a time when you consume too much weed. But how do you know if you’ve had too much? Find out below.

Can You Overdose on Cannabis?

One of the most commonly asked questions relating to cannabis use is whether or not you can overdose on it. Nearly anything you can consume can be toxic if you have too much of it, and cannabis is no exception.

For example, you can consume a lethal dose of sugar, but an everyday amount of sugar would not be toxic. The median lethal dose (LD) for sugar consumption is based on body weight. A 90kg man would need to consume 2.7 kilograms of sugar at once for it to be a toxic substance.

Author David Schmader, in his book Weed: The User’s Guide, pointed out that you would need to consume 750 kilograms of cannabis in a quarter-hour period for it to be toxic.
