  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • GHB is currently in use recreationally as an alternative to Ecstasy and speed.
  • A methamphetamine overdose may be characterized by a rapid onset of physiological deterioration that can quickly lead to a heart attack or a stroke.
  • Researchers have reported that in order for a person to consume enough marijuana to experience a fatal overdose, they would have to consume almost 40,000 times the amount of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) required to intoxicate them. For example, if it took an individual 10 hits to become intoxicated, it would take 400,000 hits of marijuana to produce a fatal overdose.
  • Individuals who abuse OxyContin and also have a lung, heart or respiratory disorder may not realize that OxyContin may suppress the respiration to the point of arrest.
