It's easier to die from drinking to much water than from smoking too much pot
In the absence of underlying health conditions, it is practically impossible to die from smoking marijuana. The LD50 -- the dose required to kill half the subjects in a test population -- of marijuana's active chemical THC is somewhere between 15 and 70 grams for the average human. As the University of Michigan's Mind the Science Gap described, that's "absurdly high":
"To put that in perspective, the casual user (once a month or so) generally only needs about 2-3 mg of THC to become intoxicated, while habitual users might need between five and ten times that amount. Since 3 mg = 0.003 g, a casual user would need to smoke about 5000 times their normal amount to approach a potentially lethal dose."
Let's see 5000 times the normal amount depends on what day it is but there is no way I could smoke
25,000 joints in one day.
I would like to propose a study wherein I test this hypothesis I wonder if these folks would like to help me out in this endeavor.

What say you Research Triangle Institute 80 cans will be close enough I'll pay the shipping and all related scientific expenditures.Come on it's SCIENCE.
