Fact or Crap?
Nope, you can not overdose from marijuana.
As for the fact that this is happening in Damned. I have a feeling it is supposed to be a parody to the whole after school special, stranger danger feel of of Judy Blume's books.

This is weird to read. The title is a question, but the first post makes an unsure negative statement that doesn't respond to the title in any way that makes sense, which is responded to by another negative statement.
I understand it all, but it's still weird to read.
Well... You can die from just about anything. It's just that some things are very very unlikely.
I don't think really it's an issue re: Damned, however. The book is slapstick.
This is why we can't have nice things.
I'm gonna be upset if the whole thing turns out to be a hallucination.
It does seem like a little girl's vision of hell. A mountain of Toenail clippings? Juvenile

Why wax lips though? Why?

The estimated quantity of dried cannabis containing enough THC to be lethal is 1500lbs. You'd pass out from lack of oxygen if you tried.
They did manage to kill rats by pumping only smoke (no oxygen) into a tank for five minutes straight so as to claim that under certain conditions you can die from ganja smoke.

I heard that 20lbs. of weed can kill a rat if dropped from high enough.

Haaaaa
Si vis pacem, para bellum
In my experience when I continued to smoke past the point of personal tolerance (limits are meant to be tested, we're curious by nature; we all did it will alcohol and prayed to the porcelain god in result... more times than I am sure people are willing to admit); I simply passed out.
Who knows, maybe the beloved author will have a twist and have it laced, or some medical issue involved. I have hope that he has it worked out and is going to keep the audience in constant wonder while reading.
That and I desperately want to read the entire book after seeing the blurb.
I'll be optimistic and hope for enjoyment (well it could be because I'm smoking, wicked awesomeness). : )

I'm allergic to the THC, not saying that's an overdose just pointing out that aside from lacing there are ways to die as a direct result of smoking a small amount of pot.
Why wax lips? Because those things are just terrible in so many ways.

I'm not sure how much you know about the condition, but could you elaborate a bit on this if your doc told you anything? I'm surprised to hear that there is a such thing as a THC allergy since it is a psychadelic. I know it can cause negative reactions when combined with some pharmaceuticals, as I had the unfortunate pleasure to experience when a friend had a bad reaction after a few puffs.
I would imagine an allergy would be to something in the plant matter other than the THC (there's actually like 19 distinct chemicals I believe), and I wonder how different strains would affect an allergy, since there really are so many.

Unless it has something to tie into the plot, what does it matter if it's possible or not. It's a fictional story set in Hell. Real world physics would seem to be a little more flexible, especially if you're just using it as a narrative device.
The OD in the book is very obviously satire. However, a friend of mine extrapolated some numbers after they found the L.D.50 of THC in rats. He determined it to be an ounce and a half of pure THC, that isn't including plant matter. There's only 28% THC in the best "weed" so thats a lot of plant matter to take in.
That's speculation though

Could be an unreliable narrator? I'm mean - Chuck is very fond of doing that...
I think it is meant to be a satire of the PSA/Afterschool special.
What if reality is nothing but some disease? -Rant, Buster"Rant" Casey
Without giving things away, it is her lie. When anyone goes to hell, they initially lie about how they died. Her's has some grains of truth, but thats it.
Not if it's laced with something.
But really too much of anything can kill you.
