People Who Died From A Marijuana Overdose

With recreational pot now for sale in Colorado and widespread confusion over a recent satirical story that jokingly claimed 37 people had already died of a marijuana overdose, we figured it might be about time to update our weed death count.

So, here's a GIF that still accurately shows all of the people who have died after overdosing on pot:

I wasn't aware that anyone had asked the question so am surprised to see that the huffpost even cared to respond.

Are there corresponding statistics for the number of people who used marijuana as a gateway drug and subsequently died from overdosing on something else?

Hahaha! Once you start to eat it you can't stop. The munchies are a definite side effect. A little Heinnylickin' might have saved him.

I was watching a 'Cops' show recently. An elderly lady called the police when she and her husband got into an argument. When the cop arrived he smelled marijuana and found a stash in the lady's cig pack. She explained to the officer that she had a litany of ailments and that weed was the only thing that worked. He arrested her and told her that he would refer her to a doctor to get legal medication.

Xanax

SIDE EFFECTS: Drowsiness, dizziness, increased saliva production, or change in sex drive/ability may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
To minimize dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a seated or lying position.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects.

Tell your doctor right away if any of these serious side effects occur: mental/mood changes (such as hallucinations, thoughts of suicide), slurred speech or difficulty talking, loss of coordination, trouble walking, memory problems.

Get medical help right away if these rare but very serious side effects occur: yellowing eyes or skin, seizures.

A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.

This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

In the US -

Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Marijuana

SIDE EFFECTS:
create a sense of well being

I watch some of the advertisements for all the legal drugs that are supposed to help you live longer and increase the quality of life .... the list of side effects are so scary I would refuse to take them even if some physician tried so hard to convince me I needed them. Pah!! I have made my family promise me that when I am senile and can't decide for myself, they will not allow doctors to give me such things then either.

I used to have a bumper sticker that said ~ ~
'God made pot,
Man made drugs
Who do you trust?'
???
