"Overdose," in terms of most drugs, means that you have ingested a sufficient quantity to begin to interfere with bodily functions in a life-threatening way.

If you want to chance getting over that without medical attention, then fine, but don't make that decision for someone else unless you are willing to take responsibility for their death.
