1st Death From Cannabis...Was Almost Me!

It's a bit of an embarrasment to post this, but in the interest of Public Safety (lol), here goes...

Friday night I decided to make some edibles with about 8 grams of hash oil diluted by 2/3 stick of butter. The G/F and I were going to have a mellow evening watching tv and kicking back.

I don't usually get off on edibles, so after warning my girl about the possible effects, I wolfed down a very large brownie. These things reeked of resin, and my single dose ending up being closer to 4 doses.

Everything was going great, lots of laughs and giggles. Then about 45 minutes in, my high took a left turn and went downhill fast. I became overwhelmed with paranoia and emotion. I've done lots of halucinigens and have had some heavy trips in the past, but nothing like this. Heroin wasn't even this heavy.

Soon after the nausia set in and I was in the bathroom puking and sweating. And I kept getting higher. It got to where I couldn't speak, or even get off the bathroom floor.

My g/f, a Registered Nurse, took a much smaller dose so she was handling it better. I was having a hard time staying awake, and was having full on halucinations/vivid dreams, but my mind was so into them that I was forgetting to breath! Several times she wanted to call 911, but I had told her earlier, that whatever happens, DON'T call 911.

6 hours later I finally came down, and it really felt good to be back to normal (although I could feel the effects for 2 days after). I was embarrassed, and more than a little shocked. I seriously underestimated the situation, and the irony was that the instructions I gave my girl in the beginning applied more to me than her.

I do think I could have died. Wouldn't that be just fucking great, the first person to die from a cannabis overdose!

I do think I could have died.

Actually... if you'd eaten more you would have gone into a semi-coma state for a few hours to a few days, and come out of it perfectly fine.

The only way you can die from eating cannabis is if you're eating contaminated stuff... then you'd be dying from an overdose of chems, not cannabis.

Please don't tell people cannabis almost killed you. *sigh*

Thanks for the post!

Stay Safe! :blowbubbles:

I've had a similar but worse experience on overdosed brownies...12+ hours of straight hallucinations coupled with extreme paranoia, could not move a muscle in my body the whole time, then a weed hangover that lasted 4-5 days and I was sweating out thc the whole week. Never had an edible since...

Not breathing was the dangerous part of the experience. Respitory suppression/failure can result in coma or worse. That's what alarmed my girlfriend, a nurse for 25+ years who has experience with overdoses first hand.

Death by cannabis overdose is a long shot, but to say it could never happen is incorrect, and sends the wrong signal to less experienced users or those with other serious medical conditions that could be exasurbated by an overdose, like a heart condition or imune deficiency.

Before this happened, I had the same attitude. I didn't think this benign herb could ever hurt me (wrong!).

The next day my buddy Grey texted me about trying out his new hash oil rig, and the thought of it grossed me out, like taking a shot of tequila on top of a hang over!

There definitely is higher chance of dying during such episodes as they are stressful and you never know when one of your weakest but important blood vessels will give up, most probably it'll be in a stressful situation.
But let's not feed the paranoia even more :)

I love black out brownies..Man I can clean the house spotless in no time.

I told my wife not to eat more than a 1" cube ( that would put me down) she ate 2"x2" and was fighting the devil for 3+ hrs. Till this day she still says she kick his ass bigtime,but will never try it again.
