Be glad you weren't driving, OP. That's the kind of stuff that puts Medical Restrictions on your license. That is such a pain in the ass. I hope your doctor/ ER/ whoever isn't too concerned.

I also disagree with the terminology "over dose".
From your link:
Bolding was my emphasis. I think most people associate overdose with a lethal dose.

this thread is still alive?
You didn't overdose. No one ever does. not from smoking, not from edibles. that isn't the way cannabis works.
for all these stories about people passing out. Eat food. Your body is a biochemical MACHINE. If you don't put fuel into the machine, the engines dies.
would you try to start your car with zero gas in it?

I agreed many posts back that I shouldn't have used the term "overdose" and that I was foolish to let that happen to me
It was my own doing and a lesson learned
by the way... my doctor has given me a clean bill of health after undergoing a few tests.... once again, lesson learned

I had a family member take a 100 mg of THC tootsie roll looking candy called a Benz Roll. She took it without reading the thc dosage and in about thirty minutes I was taking care of a puking zombie. She had eaten dinner before, and all was good. She simply had too much for her body, and started puking it out. She couldn't walk, could barely talk, and was drooling. I had another friend standing up that just passed out and fell after brownies. I have seen how fucked up edibles can get you firsthand, and think the n00bz could use the warning. I don't think ANYBODY would champion MMJ if they had an experience like that..especially a first experience. Be wary of the amount you take, and wait an hour before judging if it worked or not.
I made firecrackers out of them - I ate just one and that is what got me so fucked up
so this story has two morals..... watch your intake with edibles and don't throw out that weed after making cannabutter
The main issue lies with the product were using that has so many variables that there is little to no consistency.. one plant can have 6%thc or up to 27% and since the testing of this product is done in labs and I dont know of a home thc test kit... (sure they make em by now) but to be consistant with medibles you should use hash.. its more of a PITA to make but the end product will be less plant material and more consistancy.. but no matter what your still going to need to tit-rate yourself. I have made cookies with 16 g of weed and it rocked me... and I have made brownies with 10 g hash and it has only been a nice mellow feel.
I am guessing the only ones who think you can "OVERDOSE" on weed are those who "HAVE OVERDOSED" and know that feeling and well just trying to protect the others and give them a bit of caution to reenforce this is a medicine and well "Too much of a dose" is gonna suck!

Overdose is a strong word generally meaning a near death experience. I would never have used the (OD) word in the past with anything to do with pot. Smoked Mexican week in the 70's, 
made my own brownies in the 80's, not much use in the 90's as I was doing hard white powders up my nose. Rehab clicked in 97 and got me off what was then a few crack binges...wife didn't appreciate. 
nothing for over 10 years then started some occasional pot smoking at 52 yrs old.. Found out my lifelong addictive personality was based in anxiety and after having treated my anxiety for many years I no longer needed to escape or medicate my anxiety anymore. I was a free man from addictions...Got my green card last year about this time to experiment with edibles and oils. Oils were very convenient and not very strong. Edibles were cool. Then, After eating almost a whole cookie my controlled anxiety fired off like I have never experienced. I was in full panic mode. My brain was firing sparks like I've never known in all my drug use days...I was running worst case scenarios thru my mind at light speed, in nanoseconds I could come up with a dozen ways my world was going to fall apart and end that night. I would use all the techniques TO TRY AND CALM DOWN. I was taught how to calm down with breathing, focusing, et.. but nothing helped. My 18 yr old pot smoking son just chuckled at me and put me to bed. I decided to take a benzodiazepine, a half hour later I was sleeping like a baby....I have had similar experiences 2 other times. So far I cant get the mellow buzz with edibles I enjoy with oils or flower. Sure wish someone had a way...I did mix it with booze and although my mind still fired off firecrackers of thought at a fast rate the booze kept the panic down...speed-balling of sorts...great sex for sure.

sounds like you would benefit from a more further processed oil... like one that is cooked over 3 hours.Overdose is a strong word generally meaning a near death experience. I would never have used the (OD) word in the past with anything to do with pot. Smoked Mexican week in the 70's,
