Marijuana overdose?

How do I know that I have an overdose of cannabis? What are the symptom or facts that alert me?Armand,

The Drug Awareness Warning Network Annual Report, published by the US federal government contains a statistical compilation of all drug deaths which occur in the United States. According to this report, there has never been a death recorded from the use of marijuana by natural causes. No one knows the total number of deaths caused by enforcement of marijuana prohibition laws.
Unlike opiates, barbituates or amphetamines, there seems to be little risk from the use of large amounts of marijuana. When a person smokes too much s/he feels very tired and lies down to enjoy a soothing nap or sleep. I call it "overtoking".
When people swallow large amounts of hashish, occasionally they vomit, which is their body's way of saying, "You took too much."
