The diagnosis of overdose seems dubious. What information exactly did you supply the doctors with? It seems more likely there was an interaction between Marijuana and tramadol since you have taken them both separately without this problem? Marijuana rarely causes respiratory depression to a fatal degree in any case. It can cause panic attacks that may mimic the shortness of breath and shallow breathing of respiratory depression, but if this happened it should have been fairly obvious to the people treating you.
Marijuana can interact dangerously with TCAs to produce similar effects, and since tramadol has vaguely similar effects on noradrenaline and serotonin reuptake this *may* be a possible explanation for what happened?
I've taken both together in addition to large doses of clonazepam myself and did pass out at one point now you mention it.
