12. No one has ever died of a marijuana overdose


This is true. It was put in to see if you
are paying attention. Animal tests have revealed that
extremely high doses of cannabinoids are needed to have
lethal effect. This has led scientists to conclude that
the ratio of the amount of cannabinoids necessary to get a
person intoxicated (i.e., stoned) relative to the
amount necessary to kill them is 1 to 40,000. In other words,
to overdose, you would have to consume 40,000 times as
much marijuana as you needed to get stoned. In contrast, the
ratio for alcohol varies between 1 to 4 and 1 to 10.
It is easy to see how upwards of 5000 people die from alcohol overdoses
every year and no one EVER dies of marijuana overdoses.
