How hospitals address cannabis overconsumption

Although cannabis remains illegal in the UK and Ireland as of now, in the United States recreational marijuana is legal in 11 states and Washington, D.C., with a total of 33 states and D.C. permitting its use either recreationally or medically.

Despite the legal challenges within the UK and Ireland hundreds of thousands of people are exploring the plant, often lacking fundamental knowledge, leading to potential overconsumption.

Potency challenges and overconsumption trends

As cannabis remains illegal in the UK and Ireland we look at the case in states like Colorado, where recreational marijuana was legalized in 2012, physicians observed a rise in overconsumption cases.

The surge can be attributed to the heightened potency of cannabis, with strains often exceeding 25% THC. This potent nature significantly impacts newcomers.

Notably, the majority of overconsumption cases involve edibles, with first-time users often unaware that edibles can take up to two hours to produce effects.

This misunderstanding prompts some to consume more, leading to overconsumption.

Distinguishing overconsumption from overdose

It’s crucial to differentiate between ‘overconsumption’ and ‘overdose.’ While overconsumption may result in unpleasant effects, it does not pose an immediate threat to life.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandates toxicity level assessments for approved medicines, including marijuana. Though there are claims of cannabis-related deaths, they typically involve unrealistic consumption levels.

In 1988, Judge Francis Young asserted that marijuana’s LD50, the amount required to be lethal, was approximately 1:20,000 to 1:40,000.

This means an average-sized person would need to consume an implausible amount in a short period to induce a lethal response.

A 2014 study suggested a human LD50 of 30 mg/kg of THC, translating to an improbable ingestion of pure THC for it to be fatal.

Practical overconsumption risks are typically associated with edibles, where even a fraction of a high-THC edible can lead to adverse effects.

Symptoms of overconsumption and hospital treatment

Overconsumption symptoms vary based on factors like THC amount, individual tolerance, age, and health. Common effects include anxiety, paranoia, nausea, and vomiting. In extreme cases, psychosis may occur.

Hospitals tailor treatments to symptoms, providing IV fluids, anti-nausea medications, or sedatives when necessary. However, many cases involve calming patients and allowing them time to naturally subside from the cannabis high.

Final thoughts on cannabis overconsumption

It’s crucial to exercise caution with potent cannabis, especially for those unaccustomed to its effects.

Overconsumption can lead to unpleasant consequences, but confirmed cases of cannabis overdose are non-existent.

Sensible marijuana use, particularly with edibles, is emphasized to avoid overconsumption-related incidents.

Understanding one’s tolerance and consuming marijuana responsibly remains key to a safe and enjoyable experience.
