What is the lethal dose of marijuana?
According to which US Government authority you want to believe, the lethal
dose of marijuana is either about one-third your body weight, or about 1,500
pounds, consumed all at once.
In summary, enormous doses of Delta 9 THC, All THC and concentrated marihuana extract
ingested by mouth were unable to produce death or organ pathology in large mammals but did
produce fatalities in smaller rodents due to profound central nervous system depression.
The non-fatal consumption of 3000 mg/kg A THC by the dog and monkey would be comparable
to a 154-pound human eating approximately 46 pounds (21 kilograms) of 1%-marihuana or 10
pounds of 5% hashish at one time. In addition, 92 mg/kg THC intravenously produced no
fatalities in monkeys. These doses would be comparable to a 154-pound human smoking at one
time almost three pounds (1.28 kg) of 1%-marihuana or 250,000 times the usual smoked dose
and over a million times the minimal effective dose
