I agree with you on the chocolate cake thing, but the article CLEARLY states she died of "accute kidney failure". I believe that one of the complications of diabetes can be kidney failure. I'm sure someone will post a link backing me up on this.

My analysis of the situation is the woman was old, had diabetes and a host of other problems common in old folk (I'm getting close), and the doctor misdiagnosed the problem and prescribed an untested drug that was totally incorrect for this woman. Perhaps if the woman had been prescribed pure marijuana in edible form (smoking a joint might aggrevate pneumonia), she might have been all right. How did this woman contract pneumonia anyway? What kind of mental problems? Onset of alzheimer's perhaps?

It's clear from the article the doctor was using this woman as a guinea pig for Sativex. Just because Sativex is reported to be beneficial for MS sufferers, doesn't mean it will be good for an old woman with diabetes.

Not only should we continue to fight for leagalization, we should fight to keep the plant pure and not let the pharmaceuticals and tobacco giants poison it with additives and shit.
