Can you die from smoking too much marijuana? 
There is quite a bit of controversy surrounding the topic of marijuana overdose, despite there have been no reported cases ever. It might be possible that someone with an allergy to marijuana could die from ingesting it, however due to its legal status in many places there has been little research conducted on a marijuana allergy. There is an old urban legend, “You can overdose on weed if you smoke your weight.” The Merck Index lists the LD50 (dosage of a certain chemical which will kill half of a population given that dosage) of pure THC to be 42 mg per kg of body weight for rats when the THC is inhaled. What does this mean for humans?This is for all you " Numbers" people...
Now, Assuming that you have the best hash oil in the world and it is 90% pure, you would need to smoke 3.5 grams in order to have a 50% chance of dying. Assuming you have some awesome hash and it is 70% pure, you would need to smoke 4.5 grams in order to have a 50% chance of dying. And lastly, assuming you have some top shelf weed from a dispensary and it has a 20% purity, you would need to smoke 15.75 grams in order to give yourself a 50% chance of dying.
Personally, I’ll stick with these numbers and assume that they are correct and that all the assumptions are correct. I still think it is impossible to overdose on marijuana, because 99.9% of people (in my opinion) would be fast asleep before smoking 3.5 grams of hash oil, 4.5 grams of hash, or 15.75 grams of pot. 
So, what have we learned?.....
Well let’s start with the basics, it’s impossible to overdose on marijuana. But, if you could effectively smoke your body weight in a short period of time without falling asleep you maybe will die. Seeing as you can’t, there’s really nothing to worry about....So I will take the answer to this question as a NO!

Long cultivated as a valuable food source for animals, Hemp is now becoming a popular nutritional supplement for humans. Hemp roots can grow as deep as 20 feet or more in the ground meaning they have access to nutrients most plants cannot tap into. Because of this, Hemp is one of the richest sources of vital nutrients we have.
