Brother, you say that, yet we have nurses who are anti Vax. Don't be surprised at the stupid people in jobs they shouldn't be in.

If you're actually a nurse I'm deeply concerned by your question. I hope you're lying

You wait. Narcan is not given for Cannabis.

Cannabis overdose results in illness but never death. You wait for your body to metabolize it. The LD50 is high enough where medical professionals don't consider it a risk at all.

Clarification: The lethal dose, not the LD50. LD50 means the lethal dose is 50... I forget what. Mathematically, you would have to smoke so much marijuana in an hour that you would not have enough rooms in your lungs for oxygen. You would die not because of the marijuana (smoke) but due to the lack of oxygen. Therefore, as long as you are getting enough oxygen, you cannot die from smoking too much marijuana. (If you had a different way to oxygenate your blood, maybe you could. But I think the lethal dose is strictly hypothetical and nobody has been able to reach it. Outside of laboratory conditions you wouldn't be able to get close, anyway.)

LD50 is the point where the dose, based on your body weight, is 50% likely to kill you.

Regarding potential toxicity, I wonder if you could hit it with edibles?

Very close. LD50 is the dose based on body weight where it kills 50% of people of that weight. There's really no way to know what has a 50% chance of killing you.

I feel like even a Nurse's Assistant should know this. Oooof.

Narcan blocks opioid receptors which thc does not interact with... so nothing.

I'm not sure I'm understanding your question correctly, but generally if someone is "too high" and "greens out", they will be likely to have a panic attack, show general paranoia, and symptoms like dizziness and nausea. It's not really a medical emergency, although to the user it probably will seem like one. There is no need to provide treatment other than making the user feel comfortable. Over time, they'll come down and be fine again (but maybe a bit tired from the ordeal).

I speak from experience, as someone who has greened out several times in the past.

Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken, but Narcan (naloxone) is not used for overdoses on non-opiod drugs like meth or LSD. As other commenters have pointed out it specifically binds to opioid receptors, so it's not going to be useful for a drug that operates via a different primary mechanism. The same goes for THC, which binds to cannabinoid receptors instead. Frankly, I would expect a medical professional to just know this.

You are 100% correct. I find it highly probable that OP is simply lying about being a nurse.

In my experience, none of the medical professionals I've worked with would turn to public forums to find an answer to a question like this. Even if it's related to a different specialty/area of medicine than they usually practice.

Generally nothing serious happens to them, unless is some kind of synthetic cannabinoids which IDK what could happen, but with natural weed or wax the most extreme is uncontrollably laughing and disorientation, when people is on a very high state and they don't want to be I usually recommend them to eat and drink something and then go to sleep the effects of weed are gone after 4 hours approximately after stopped consumption.
