Ok I was going around on this website and they say that marijuana has never caused death..ok if this is so then what is this?

Now if the guy tested positive for marijuana and his heart failed and he was high when he died...c'mon now, you can't say marijuana didn't cause the death. So if this story is true then why do they say that marijuana hasn't killed anyone before? I mean it might not be an overdose but it sure as hell helped a body part to fatally malfunction.

Yeah, but millions of people's hearts fail each day, and they die. If they had just drank a glass of non-poisoned apple juice, and they died, the apple juice didn't cause it, it just happened to be a coincidence.

Or, if your heart fails, and you die, while watching The Real World on MTV. It's not MTV's fault, just a coincidence. You can't overdose from marijuana, but you can still die while you're high. That would be kick ass if you were invincible while high though...

and i quote from that page

"Above are two pictures of the heart of a young man who was found dead in bed. His body tested positive for marijuana. An autopsy revealed that the arteries which supplied blood to the heart were underdeveloped as a result of a birth defect."

that article is bogus, look at the underlined text, read the last sentence in that article, marijuana most likely contributed to his death, ummmm no...you just stated arteries were underdeveloped, i think that may be the problem!

Thats just like saying you cant walk, you get shot in the face, then someone saying, if he could of moved faster and could of walked he wouldnt of got shot in the face...makes no sence, marijuana did not contribute to his death, just as the man not being able to walk contributed to his death, he just smoked a bowl at a time before he died thats all.

Marijuana can't directly cause death.

It does increase heart rate temporarily, but it is impossible to overdose on it.

The only way you'd die from taking marijuana is if you already had a potentially-fatal condition and it just happened to give way while you were high.

So it can be a CONTRIBUTING FACTOR to fatalities, but not the CAUSE.
