Look at this.
Cannabis death a first for Britain - www.theage.com.au
Sounds strange to me but the coroners seems to have stated that the cause of death actually was cannabis poisoning. The DIRECT cause of death. I think that is questionable out of pure statistic reasons but no matter what that is not good for us since a doctor wrote the report and you can be damn sure this report will pop up here and there in the medias when legalisation is discussed.

WTF they never heard of a brain aneurysm before? tpical vote getting fak, produced data. WOW bullshitQuote:
The inquest heard that Mr Maisey had complained of a headache on August 22 last year. The next morning he was found dead at the house he shared with friend Jeffrey Saunders in Summerhill, Pembrokeshire.
Michael Howells, the Pembrokeshire coroner, said Mr Maisey was free from disease and had not drunk for at least 48 hours. Autopsy tests showed a high level of cannabinoids in his blood. He recorded a verdict of death by misadventure because Mr Maisey had died while taking part in an illegal activity.
LOL 6 joints a day...i should have been gone long ago

The article is from 2004 and it was a month before the reclassification of Cannabis to a lower schedule in england. It seems like it was a move to scare people into preventing that change. They are still trying to use crazy propaganda now to get it back to where it was when this article was written. It was, after all, a study done in england this year that tried to say Cannabis was making people psychotic. Another scare tactic to encourage people to accept the reclassification back to the higher schedule. I'm sure the US government is behind it. Makes them look bad that their good buddies the brits are changing their minds with out permission. Same old same old.
Blessed be~
if this was in fact confirmed, it would become the 1st direct death resulted from THC poisoning and it would make lots of buzz at the time

thats b4 Saddam was found. he's been long dead now!
and plus:
u can die of any poisoning, even pure water poisoning... anything taken in excess amounts can poison ur body! ur liver and digestive system fail under pressure of excessive amounts of chemicals processed and in case of water poisoning:
"The fact that water can cause fatal overdoses is not well known. Often called 'water intoxication' or 'hyponatremia' (low salt), water poisoning results when too much water is ingested in too short a time without replenishing electrolytes, particularly sodium and potassium."
source How much water would a person drink to get water poisoning? FunAdvice.com
i know the link u found comes #1 when u google "cannabis death"
but here is a better source for comparison (not just a mere single report by some Australian site in a bush-like admin era!)
Can marijuana use cause death?
I found it when I was browsing around UK south west newspapers for the insane amount of grow op shut downs the cops have done there.
Did'nt know anything more than what I read and thought someone else would.
Thing is what I read in some canadian text from some professor or something was that to actually get THC poisoning to a fatal level you would have to smoke about 3 pounds of medium grade MJ in about 12 hours.
To do that I think you would have to smoke so much and so fast that you would die of suffication before the THC and certainly be out cold way prior to being able to get a 3rd of the leathal dose.

This is what they're saying now. Like I said just BS from propagandists and nothing more. :hippy:
so that makes the count:
cannabis: 1
alchohol: 75000+ per year
I think we're okay.
i doubt thats true in any way and thanks GoddessHerb for the link, i'll trust NORML before that bullshit.
it's funny i read this now because i just watched a documentary on showtime called War on Drugs: The Last White Hope. it was very good and i'd recomend it to everyone here.
Sounds like a bunch of hoopla to me.
Something inside me says 'no'.
