Can you overdose on weed? Is that actually possible? Well, sort of. Apparently this cop and his wife thought they had, well…died after eating what must’ve been one hell of a strong batch of brownies and called 911 for help.

The first time I ever smoked weed, my girlfriend (at the time) and my friend Paul decided that they’d introduce me to smoking in the grand tradition of losing your virginity by being the available hole at a gang bang. I bought a very nice surgical glass bong almost 2 feet tall. There was a long shaft with plenty of room for ice to cool the smoke down, lots of water in the bottom for filtering and a big bowl for the best weed I could find in Atlanta. Well, it’s Atlanta..it was really, really good organic, hydroponic ninja weed with blue and orange hairs and what can be described as a soul crushing high when you smoke too much of it.

I followed their instructions to the letter:

1. Pack the bowl with ground, high quality weed.
2. Light the lighter and put it just above the bowl while drawing on the shaft of the bong to pull the flame into the bowl and light the full bowl.
3. Once you’ve gathered a good amount of smoke in the bong shaft, slip the bowl up an inch or two and clear the chamber.
4. Hold the smoke as long as you can, then exhale it.
5. Repeat and…repeat.
6. Once the bowl is ashed, re-pack the bowl and…repeat.

I got one hit into the second bowl before the world become a very un-friendly, un-happy place. While sitting motionless on my comfortable, black leather couch…I felt like I was floating in a world of roller coasters and porcupines. Nothing made sense, up was down and I ended up dry heaving in my bathroom sink while suddenly needing to get very naked and run haphazardly through my 2 floor condo searching for my penis and screaming “SEVENTEEN” for hours on end. It was about 8 hours before things started to return to normal regardless of the milk, sugar, showers, sleep, sex, massages and everything else my now sorry companions tried to do to bring me back. That’s as close as “over dosing” on weed as I’ve ever experienced and about as close as I’ve ever even heard of.

I don’t buy that you can overdose on weed, I think you’d pass out first. But you can smoke yourself into oblivion if you’re uninformed or just plain stupid. A word to the wise, know your limits, know what you’re smoking (quality means everything) and always know that you can smoke more if you haven’t gotten to your desired level of highness. BUT you can’t un-smoke that Bob Marley hit you wanted to take to be cool in front of your weed buddies. Regardless, the video’s hysterical, Enjoy.
