Screamin' 'til we overdose
I almost did the other day
You can't handle what you're seein'
Baby, you should look away
I was laying in the kitchen
****, I didn't even pray
Smile all on my face
This the **** that I embrace
Boy, I blow a quarter million
Got it just the other day
So addicted to prescriptions
And these dirty concentrates

Overdose just means you took more than the recommended/prescribed dosage.

Death not mandatory.

you can have too much and depending on how your body handles it it can be weird/scary/uncomfortable, but you can't overdose.

There are some facts we all have to agree on.

Different drugs will have different effects when you overdose on them. A typical form of overdose is when you take too much drugs than can be metabolised by your liver, causing them to have continued effects or preventing other things that should be metabolised resulting in liver toxicity, extreme cases being complete liver failure

To clarify, something usually isn't considered an overdose until you've taken a "dangerous" amount, as opposed to some amount over the recommended dosage.

If the bottle says take two aspirin, and you take three, nobody will say you're ODing on aspirin.

I don't like the word usually.

I use the word "usually" because I don't want to give the impression that I understand how the label would be implied in every single possible instance of something.

For all intents and purposes, feel free to remove "usually" from my post.

It affects your body, and dopamine levels. You can overdose.

That said, most overdose injuries/fatalities occur OUTSIDE of the 'normal' usage. If you are a user of a drug at home, and decide to take it at a party, you have a much higher chance of overdosing due to the lack of 'signals' prior to taking the drug. The body will prepare itself for the drug if you frequently take it in one situation by producing 'counter-chemicals' to the drug itself. If you change the signals, this does not happen, resulting in the body not preparing for the drug.

Basically, you can take a dose of 10MG of X at home, which is 10 times higher than the recommended dosage. Taking it at home prepares the body to produce an amount of Y needed to counter-act the effects. Taking 10MG of X at a party may not prepare your body (an amount of Y needed to counter-act the effects is not produced), so it does not react to the intake of X, meaning even 5MG could be fatal.

This is of course very simplistic, but there are tons of research papers on this.

I dont think he realizes he's responding to a post about pot specifically, but no, that's not true regarding that particular drug. I mean it's still applicable generally in terms of tolerance, but no, the theoretical fatal dose of marijuana is physically impossible to reach without outside intervention.

Yeah this is true. And overdoses of CNS depressants like heroin and other opioids are often lethal if not reversed because they slow the CNS so much that your body literally stops breathing automatically. Stimulant overdoses can happen and may or may not be lethal, often by cardiac arrest or something of that nature or serotonin syndrome.
