👻 MYTH: You can't overdose on cannabis.FACT: Consuming too much cannabis can cause poisoning and serious, sometimes dangerous effects.While a fatal overdose from cannabis alone is unlikely, using too much can cause extreme confusion, panic, paranoia, hallucinations, a rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure, and severe nausea or vomiting. Edibles can carry an additional risk. Their effects can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to begin, which can lead someone to consume more before feeling the effects, increasing the risk of poisoning or serious injury.Bottom line: “Unlikely to be fatal” doesn't mean “you can't have too much.” Cannabis can cause serious adverse effects, especially when high-THC products are consumed in excess.📊Sources: www.cdc.gov/cannabis/faq/index.html?utm_source and www.cdc.gov/cannabis/health-effects/poisoning.html?utm_source ...
