He didn't really die 'from' weed he died 'by' weed. Sad, another life lost because of prohibition.

Well, yes. In the end he died because of those wanton laws. Also, at the comments of that article there is this: "i think the tree did it. Just look at the impact on the bonnet."

Still, I thought that the article combined with the topic it would make a joke and some kind of "wtf, you can't die from that?!" effect.

It surely was not my intention to make fool or fun of that victim, only the headline and the well known fact that no one has ever died from cannabis. It's a thin line between joke and tragedy.

Thx...
Deaths attributed to cannabis probably will never be known; think gang wars, cartel vs. cartel, etc...
Then there's this... http://stash.norml.org/finally-somebody ... -marijuana
