MY BROTHER DIED FROM MARIHUANA


He was invited by the "cool kids" to hang out at some kids house whose liberal parents had left for the weekend.

My brother, always a moral and thoughtful individual, wanted to attend because it was one of those massive house parties that he'd never been to.

Well, as was later recalled by some of his friends at the party, he was pressured into smoking marijuana. He ended up smoking the entire pack of marijuana cigarettes.

Not long after he went into convulsions and started foaming at the mouth. The people at the party held back calling 9/11 for almost 10 minutes.

When the paramedics finally arrived they could do nothing to save him.

The autopsy revealed he had 3 times the lethal dosage of THC in his blood.

But I'm sure everyone here will deny my story and the fact that my brother died after smoking that illegal narcotic.

Hahaha nice.

Wait. We cant stop here... this is bat country.

What exactly is 'the lethal dosage of marijuana'?

Since a human toxicity level has never been established, (THC not being a recognized toxin), how could 'brother's' level be determined to have been three times that amount?

And why would the otherwise ruler-straight but party-curious brother 'end up smoking the whole pack'?
What, he instantly got hooked on a non-addictive substance he'd never before encountered, and couldn't stop smoking it?
And since when do marijuana cigarettes come in 'packs' like commercially sold cigarettes?

If you are going to make up a story then you shouldn't leave such glaring holes in it.
The post is as nonsensical as Reefer Madness.

Obviously there is no such thing as a lethal dosage. Unlike alcohol and most other drugs, the only way you can die from smoking marijuana is if you are so stoned that you walk in front of a bus or something stupid like that. The drug itself cannot kill you, it's medically impossible. I am so amused by people who drink booze that are so afraid to smoke pot, it's just ignorant.

That's not necessarily true. Many studies have indicated that there is a potentially lethal dosage, but it's basically impossible to consume such an amount. It's something like 1500 pounds in 15 minutes. As for people dying just from stupid accidents, that's also untrue. People with pre-existing health problems, such as high blood pressure or a history of heart attack, can die from the effect that marijuana has on their heartrate/blood pressure, which could trigger a fatal heart attack.

Too much of anything can kill you. Even water.

reply

Too much water is lethal to a human. Also, not a "toxin."

reply

I think the leathal dose is like 10 pounds in 5 minutes.... Which is impossible.

Uh...I think that was the point, man.

I dunno; I smoked something weird a little while ago and I'm going into "bat country".

reply

maybe it was the same stuff they were smoking in "Reefer Madness," which I don't believe was your traditional "marihuana."

FMA!!

reply

Where did your brother's friends buy joints in packs? Can I get the number of that dealer? Super convenient!

Your brother's experience of overdosing on Marijuana should serve as a sobering reminder of those who are even thinking about trying this so-called "harmless drug".

Alcohol and chewing tobacco is a much safer alternative.

My son was attending the local public high school ( bad start i know.) last year, before we took him out of that liberal hell hole. My poor child was subjected to horrible things such as reefer, or as its better known on the streets THE REAVER.
One of his "teachers" who had already taught him the lie of EVILlution. Attempted to tell him that pot wouldn't kill him instatly even if he so much as thought about doing it .
I was so enraged when i heard this liberal hipppy lie to my son . I am sure jesus was pissed too . So i called the school and told the principal that his LIEology teacher was smoking pot and forcing or poor defenceless tiny eightteen year old children to smoke demon weed. That was also a demon worshiper who practiced in class .( it has been proven that charles darwin is a demon , and the teacher said his name once or twice so i think i ws right in my assumption.) The principal told me he would look into it . I yelled at him when he refused to fire the democrat on the spot.
I then took my son out of the horrible school and put him in military school. We were afraid the horrible dem kids would curropt our son, so we had to straighen him out.
The look he gave us was heart breaking. But i knew i was doing the right thing .
They need to start teaching the TRUTH like they did back in my day.
1. pot kills 100% of the time, sometimes on the first puff!
2. It can destory familys and lives as it devours the sanity left in your children
3.it is ALWAYS laced with rat poisan
4. People are constantly trying to get your poor kids , from the first grade on , to smoke the horible substance.

We have to be viligant at stopping this thing from spreading around our perfect country.
Every time a pot ciggeratte is rolled , evolution is taught , a teen who was raped has a ABORTION , or some misguided kid masterbates(it took me atleast 5 mins to get the courage to write that disgusting word.), jesus puts off the rapture by one more day!

This isn't part of my post.

"MY BROTHER DIED FROM MARIHUANA" - Umm, no, he didn't. Why are we spelling it with an 'H' by the way? Is it still the 1930's?

Oh! But we must spell it with an 'H'; that way, we'll know that it's the "Assassin of Youth".

The bats are getting more numerous now.

Because that's the kind they cut with dried piranha, which is what does the killing. Bad stuff, stay clear, you can tell because it has a fishy smell

I started laughing at "liberal parents." That's when I figured that this material was coming from Focus on the Family or some such group.
