Reply to comment by Roxmysox68 in Fentanyl found in THC gummies sold in 3 Montgomery County smoke shops, DA warns by ImperialIIClass

If I’m not mistaken, the one cannabis fatality in recent years was a child eating delta-8 gummies. So it would appear to not be as safe as D9.

Perhaps it was contaminated. Because you can't overdose on cannabinoids in general.

You actually can. The dose is just unbelievably massive, so massive that it’d basically be impossible unless you were trying to. Something like you’d have to smoke 1000 pounds in ten minutes lol.

I've heard it's roughly 1 gram per kilogram. So imagine eating two or three shot glasses worth of pure THC. It would cost thousands of dollars, and you'd probably choke to death before OD'ing.

Yes perhaps it was; perhaps his death was entirely unrelated to cannabis. Whatever the explanation, what I said remains true: it appears D8 is less safe than D9; emphasis on the “appears”.

Im not saying your wrong but its an isomer of D9 and is found in the plant naturally and when you eat D8 it metabolizes into 11-hydroxy-thc which is exactly what D9 also metabolizes into when ingested orally. So it seems like the child probably had a preexisting condition and the D8 only exasperated whatever underlying condition, not necessarily meaning it was just D8 that was the sole cause of the death. Its a shame but no child should ever be consuming a product like that in the first place
