DerbyTup Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Just curious. A friend of mine recently started smoking cannabis and is now in the hospital with suspected lung failure. "Suspected lung failure?" no such thing me old mate. Heart Failure, yes, lung failure, no. You might be referring to a suspected punctured lung - which is a different thing altogether. Or it could be that your mate has COPD - obstruction of the airways. But lungs don't fail and just pack up - not of their own accord. Smoking any substance can cause lung damage though.

chem1st Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 It would be easier to OD on pure THC than it would be cannabis. If smoking it, one would pass out before Overdosing, unless you devised a way of ingest a copious amount all at once. Depending uon how it was administered it might not be the THC that would kill you, more so the lack of oxygen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 breathing i would imagine Lungs don't "breathe". They transfer oxygen into the bloodstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 i dont think theres 1 single case of thc killing anybody, you generally pass out and go into a deep sleep before you could even think about oding. smoking can kill obviously, both as we know by cancer etc and other respiratory diseases and i suppose there could also be a possiblity of smoke inhalation interfering with your respiratory system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Sleeps Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 but we use them to breathe do we not We use many parts of our to body to breathe. Lungs don't generally "fail" - they're quite good at their task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
