Lazy Coroner.
I'm going to do a bong hit and think about this
lmao No way. Sounds like propaganda to me. #reefermadness
It said he had been trying to quit using a "Cannabis substitute."
Maybe Spice/K2? That stuff is bad news.
Very bad stuff. For the record, I don't smoke weed but I am pro-legalize it.
Dailymail.co.uk is known to be ABSOLUTE bullshit.
bahahaha this kill me
yeah... so cause of death attributed to something never demonstrated by science to be a cause of death is not valid. How does this coroner know how many joints a day this guy smokes?
This is political propaganda. And it's an English story... they are all just jealous cause English weed sucks ass compared to American weed.
DailyMail is not a real news source. It's just clickbait.
That makes more senseQuote:

In this situation, he died upright on the couch and his body wasn't able to accomplish this. I'm not pulling this outta my ass, something I learned taking Pharmacology. It wasn't TOXICITY that killed him, it was the fact that by not 'properly' fainting, his brain wasn't able to get adequate blood flow. This isn't some new discovery of what weed does, it was just an extremely unfortunate and coincidental set of circumstances. Weed probably did more net good for his quality of life than bad, it just happened to be a factor in causing a side effect that's very well known to a guy who was predisposed to some pathological condition due to his car accident, who didn't end up fainting as he should have. Very sad. Watch any jiu jitsu tournament where a guy goes unconscious. Dyou think people are going to stand him upright? Hell no. They need to get blood to his brain, so they lift his legs above his head to help him come to faster.
Weed is not 'addicting' by scientific standards, as the author alluded to. He obviously doesn't know shit about the hallmark of an addictive substance, the mechanism of action of drugs, or why precisely any self respecting pharmacologist would tell you straight up why weed is not and should not be considered an addictive substance.
