There have been zero reported deaths from marijuana overdose. Related deaths, yes, but they are basically always when in combination with other drugs and have to do with car accidents.

People have tried to overdose on marijuana by trying to eat as much of it as possible in baked goods, but they have failed. They only fell asleep.

“An exhaustive search of the literature finds no deaths induced by marijuana. The US Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) records instances of drug mentions in medical examiners’ reports, and though marijuana is mentioned, it is usually in combination with alcohol or other drugs. Marijuana alone has not been shown to cause an overdose death.”
