       I hope you jumped right up and called them on the carpet.  There has 
never been a recorded death directly attributable to toxicity [of marihuana]. 
 The theoretical (*theoretical*, mind you) toxic dose is 1500 pounds in 15 
minutes.  It is quite impossible to consume that much.  Even if all the 
psychoactive ingredients were concentrated, and given a 10% original sample 
(quite high, no pun intended), that would be 150 lb of psycho-stuff in the 
same time period.  If the theoretical sample were the more standard 3%, that 
would be 45 lb.  Still also impossible.
       And then there's user titration.  You'd be so stoned after a few 
milligrams of active that you wouldn't WANT to consume any more.  Pizza, 
however, would look attractive.
