Fables, Fictions, and Reefer Madness

Researchers have great difficulty determining the lethal dose for marijuana
because the sheer volume of plant material required causes death long before
a toxic reaction can occur. A deadly dose of marijuana would require eating
hundreds of pounds of cooked marijuana in a few minutes. Even a toddler
would have to consume several hundred pounds of pre-cooked cannabis to have
a lethal reaction. Consuming so much marijuana or anything else would cause
death by choking.

DEA Administrative Law Judge Francis L. Young found that a lethal dose of
marijuana would require an adult to smoke 1,500 pounds of cannabis in 15
minutes. That would mean absorbing more than 75 pounds of pure THC in the
smoke.
