There is no such thing as 'acute cannabis poisoning' I'm not pro or anti pot, I'm just pro-SCIENCE. Google it.. cite a reliable study or journal entry. This means you, Gengis Khan. There is a link between MJ and psychotic episodes in people previously diagnosed, but this is not 'poisoning', simply a nasty side effect. (sorry if you went through this, Little Lion). Some people do 'freak out' after smoking large amounts and seek medical treatment, but it's the mind making the body sick, not the drugs. (eg, mass hysteria) As previous posters have noted, the LD-50 for cannabis is such a large number that it would be physically impossible to achive it, even with a pure THC extract. You can get brain damage from inhaling too much of ANY kind of smoke, but this is due to lack of oxygen flow to the brain and not due to chemicals in the smoke.
"Her first overdose in August 2007 was reportedly from cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, ketamine and crystal meth."
Any of these drugs alone (and alcohol), can cause all of the symptoms described. This is like a coroner finding a dead body with all these drugs in the bloodstream and a Twinkie in their hand and concluding that the death was due to 'acute Twinkie poisoning'.
