Colorado's first death attributed by cannabis

"An exchange student fell to his death after ingesting marijuana in Colorado - the first death linked to the drug since it was legalised in the US state."

I wonder if they checked any statistical data to see if cannabis was ever a contributing factor in automobile accident related deaths? Hmm, what?
The dude fell from a balcony, which happens quite frequently for various reasons... of which alcohol and prescription drugs being the usual causes, besides murder and a negligent parent.
Alarmists making noise regardless of the above reality.
More "refer madness" bullshit for the ignorant and uninformed.
Sad...

Well, in 2011, the last year for data I could find, there were 446 deaths from alcohol in Colorado. Meaning that since legalizing weed 1 kid might have died from being stoned and having an accident, but 100 people have died from alcohol related incidents. Which basically reinforces the fact that weed in 1/100th as dangerous as alcohol when it comes to causing bodily harm like this. They neglected to put these stats in the fucking article.

It turns out the kid had bath salts along with some other crap in his system. This is bullshit, the coroner should be horse whipped.

Let us see your statics about that, Ron. I always thought falling from a balcony was something told by the stupidity, not by the inebriation, unless you are Chet Baker and do heroin.
