Answers:
Whoever the first person is, is completely ignorant, and needs to stop listening to what mommy and daddy say and learn the facts!.

No, marijuana can not kill you in any way!. It can kill your brain cells and make cause problems with your memory, but can not kill you!. But, too much of ANYTHING is bad for you!. The smoke does not leave tar in your lungs like tobacco because obviously it doesn't have tar in it, but you work your lungs harder when you smoke, so too much can start to take a toll on your lungs!. Each year hundreds of thousands die from alcohol and tobacco and not even one death is caused by marijuana!.

I am sure there are meds that it reacts with, not because of the drug itself but the affects the drug has on your body!. I wouldn't take any kind of sleeping pill with it!. I don't think it can make you sick, but I am sure it can mess you up even harder if taken with certain medications!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If its pure you could be allergic to the THC in the plants!. or the smoke, unlikely but so is being allergic to almost every painkiller (me)!.

Marijuana also has more tar than cigarettes, no drug is safe!. I just had a bad experience with alcohol last week, and almost died!. I have been drinking for a long time and know my limit, bad things happen!.

While the drug itself may not kill you, what you do while your on the drug may, such as getting stoned and going to drive for food!. Seen my roommate do it several times so i just drive him there on my own, only if he clearly cannot be driving!.

Life is funny, everyone is different!.

EDIT: lys

Where are your sources that it doesn't have tar, i would love to see that considering everywhere else shows it does!.

The investigators point out 'the tar in marijuana smoke, compared with that of tobacco, contains higher concentrations of carcinogenic substances including benzapyrene, which has been shown to be a key factor in promoting lung cancer!.'

if you have breathing trouble it can (but not if you eat it) or if it's laced with something bad it can definatly kill you!. Marajuana is a depressant, it's going to slow down some of your systems, so i wouldn't smoke weed right before a surgery where you are going to have a lot of anestetics if i were you, but other than that just pure marjauana shouldn't react badly with other meds, but again when you buy it from other people it can be laced with stuff and that stuff can definatly react badlyWww@Answer-Health@Com

LD50 of THC is the dose of tetrahydrocannabinol which will kill 50% of test subjects!. According to the Merck Index, 12th edition, THC has a LD50 value of 1270 mg/kg (male rats) and 730 mg/kg (female rats) administered orally dissolved in sesame oil!.[1]

The LD50 value for rats by inhalation of THC is 42 mg/kg of body weight!. It is important to note, however, that toxicity in animal models does not necessarily correlate to human toxicity!. THC receptor distribution in the rat central nervous system is different from that of humans, meaning that there is the significant possibility that toxicity in humans varies from the published animal LD50 studies!.

There has never been a documented human fatality from marijuana!.[2] Absorption is limited by serum lipids, which can become saturated with THC, mitigating toxicity!. One estimate of LD50 in humans is that a man weighing 75 kg (164!.0625 lb) must directly absorb into the blood stream the amount of THC found in 21 grams of extremely high-potency (15% THC) marijuana all at once or orally consume the amount of THC in about a pound of 15% THC marijuana!.[1]

Studies of the distribution of the cannabinoid receptors in the brain explain why THC's toxicity is so low (i!.e!., the LD50 of the compound is so large): parts of the brain that control vital functions such as respiration do not have many receptors, so they are relatively unaffected even by doses larger than could ever be ingested under any normal conditions!.[citation needed]

The following data has been used to suggest that it would be very difficult for marijuana to cause lethal a overdose!.

THC LD50:[3]
666 mg/kg oral-rat
482 mg/kg oral-mouse
525 mg/kg oral-dog
29 mg/kg intravenous-rat
42 mg/kg intravenous-mouse
128 mg/kg intravenous-monkey (LDLO)
373 mg/kg intraperitoneal-rat
168 mg/kg intraperitoneal-mouse

It's a big misconception that marijuana has the same effects as tobacco!. This isn't true!. THC SLOWS the growth of cancer (doesn't stop it or reverse it, but slows the growth of tumors)!. So it doesn't cause lung cancer!.
It can make you tired!.
It can make you laugh a lot!.
It can make you eat a lot or sleep a lot!.

There is not a SINGLE case of anyone dying from THC overdose!. It would take pounds and pounds of high quality marijuana being ingested in a very short time which is almost impossible!.

However, it DOES impair your judgment at times!. It slows your reaction time, so people SWEAR they drive better because they're more alert, but their reactions are much slower!. YOu could die from something like that!.
Some people get panic attacks (from unfamiliar feelings), and they freak out, think they're having a heart attack, and try to do crazy things to fix it!. Though really anyone can get panic attacks for a variety of reasons (even simple stress) and have adverse reactions!.
It doesn't react with any prescription meds THAT I KNOW OF!. It's not really a reactant chemical!. Though, you should tell your doctor if you smoke pot!. It will remain confidential with them, and if there ARE any reactions, they have it on record and your treatment could be treated as such if something happened (whether you were high or not)!.
So given your in a safe place (not driving or anything), your going to be just fine! And you WONT get lung cancer from it!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Depends!. It may not kill you directly!. I do know though, that it will seeeeeriouslyy Fuuuckkk youuu upp!. Drugs re-wire the receptors in your brain!. It slows you down and makes you "duuhhhhh" basically if you do it enough, you will never be the same, just a retard!. I knew a kid who dropped out of school and sat around doing Marijuana all day for a couple years, now a days I see him just walkin the streets aimlessly!. He's so messed!.

I don't know about the meds thing!. You will really need to do your research from refutable sites on that one!. And maybe see a doctor to get some answers!. A doctor will be more interested in helping you than trying to get you in trouble for it!.

My best advice, don't do it! It numbs your memory, impairs your judgement, and in the long run will hurt you no matter what!. Most employers now-days do drug tests, and you won't be able to get a job!. you are putting others around you at risk because of your irresponsible decision!. Please don't do it!.

if you are allergic to it, you can get dangerous reactions and some people who are allergic get strong anxiety reactions which i suppose could make you want to kill yourself!. and it is really hard on the lungs which could cause health problems over time!. but at the end of the day it is never a good idea to mix drugs not prescribed by your doctor because of the effects!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It can give you lung cancer if you smoke it with Tobacco!.

Just like tobacco really!.

But I don't know about any way it can kill you!.

I think it can make you schizonphrenic!?
I can't spell it but it means you hear voices in your head telling you to do stuff!.
Which can be really awful!.

And If I were you I wouldn't mix any drug with prescription meds because you don't know what could happen!.

And if something then did happen you would have to own up to smoking it in the first place!.

Any drug can kill you!. Your best bet, is to never find out!. Just simply say no to all Drugs!. It is very addicting and can cause many health issues down the road!. You never know, you may be allergic to pot!. As for prescription meds, the companies do not research the side affects that may happen while using pot!.

Again, your one & only way to go, is JUST SAY NO!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes!. All drugs can kill you!. Even alcohol and caffeine!.
I don't care what any one says, weed can kill you!. So don't use it!
Also, think about it like this: When you inhale smoke into your lungs, no matter what it is from, it can kill you! That is what causes most people to die in house fires!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No!. There are people who have gotten in accidents from it!. And with excessive use you can develop lung cancer and COPD just like you can with any smoke you take in your lungs!. But overall, it is extremely safe!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
