First death by dope

A MAN aged 36 is thought to have become the first in Britain to die directly from cannabis poisoning. Lee Maisey smoked 25,000 joints during his 11-year addiction to the drug due to be decriminalised later this month.
He said he had a headache before collapsing.
Yesterday a coroner recorded that single Mr Maisey, of Summerhill, Pembrokeshire, died from cannabis toxicity.
Afterwards experts warned cannabis was getting stronger and risks were even higher if it is eaten rather than smoked.

Hmm, id like to see the coronor explain the how the cannabis toxicity killed the man seriously though this is obviously a load of shit.

Thats 6 joints a day, ive smoked that amount of weed for extended periods of time before (months) so i guess i better watchout next time ive got a headache!


Also be carefull not to breathe as breathing actually induces the human metabolism which causes the genetic aging of cells, so technichally breathing is killing you. BREATH SLOW!

JK if ure 2 munted 2 tell.

25,000 joints? What kind of figure is that? What's the point of even trying to figure that out?
smoke 2 joints a day for 11 years or something....stupid.

Nice use of emotive writing 8)

etc. etc. *rant* *rant*

However, it could kill you of course. Maybe cause a stroke or whatnot. But hey.....Bloody stupid article. Waste of space.
 
Well if that stuffs killing people in the UK we better make it illegal.
Fuck me, wait! It already is %)


I feel sorry for his family, and even sorrier for anyone who believes it was the weed that killed him.
 
I'm not saying it can't happen, only that it obviously is very very rare. It's also possible other factors were involved that we aren't aware of..

........The low toxicity of THECA [CANNABIS] is best indicated by its widespread use with very few reports of anything even approaching an overdose. Occasionally, people may get too "high" for their psychic comfort, but their bodies continue to function fairly normally. The dosage sufficient to kill half of the organisms tested (LD50) for orally ingested THECA is approximately 1 g/kg of body weight.

Simply interpreted, this means an average sized human would have to consume 50-100 g of pure THECA to reach the LD50 level. Since high-potency Cannabis contains approximately 10% THECA, a person would have to eat at least 500-1,000 g of this marijuana before having a 50% chance of death.

A 1 g marijuana cigarette of 10% THECA Cannabis contains 100 mg of THECA and is usually shared among several smokers. Clinically effective oral doses for the relief of nausea start at 5-10 mg. This means that, even accounting for pyrolytic decomposition and smoke loss, there is a several-thousandfold difference between an effective dose of THECA and a potentially lethal one! For alcohol, this difference is only about twenty fold. Other common non-prescription drugs, such as aspirin, have similar relatively narrow margins of safe use....

^^ lol hahahaha 8)
 
I wish I had counted every bong I've ever smoked. It would be a great statistic to keep track of.

That said, I've counted and recorded every single biscuit and trip I've ever taken.

Lol I've often tried to fathom the logistics of how much weed me and my mates have smoked since we first started... Makes me cringe :p

As for other drugs, same, except after a few months it gets a bit hazey and I can't remember what when or where.
 
Thanks, thats what i was 2 lazy to find lol but yeah he would have to smoke what a QP a day? something like that,,

It definately means that 6 joints a day wouldnt cut it, even with pure thc.

So how the fuck did he die? Does anyone know? I guess it was a purely unrelated cause and he just happened to be smoking a joint at the time.
 
Who cares! each person makes their own decisions! If this guy was dumb enough to smoke that much weed everyday then he deserved to die .:p

The way I see u can look after yaself or u can be a statistic!
 
hahaha.. ok this is such a joke... this is the first stoner ive ever met who actually COUNTS how many joints he has smoked over YEARS?!! 25,000 is a big number to estimate, unless he has obsessive compulsive disorder and records the number of joints smoked in a little book somewhere..
 
^ Perhaps he smokes a set amount per week and knows he gets X number of joints per bag. You wouldn't be spot on, but it's quite possible to calculate a rough approximation.


Also, I know guys who have smoked 10-20 or more joints a day for 40 or more years. 6 a day may be considered chronic, but I can assure it's not uncommon.

It is possible an underlying neurological problem was made worse by a large amount of THC, but it's impossible to say unless someone establishes what exactly the underlying condition entailed, and how the action of THC affected it. Perhaps it was a super dose, but most likely (IMO) it was a high dose which triggered something else. But it's all speculation and guesses.
