Way to go Potheads. Well, on second thought, it’s not really a “way” to go. DENVER - This week, two Denver deaths were linked to marijuana use, and while some details of the deaths have yet to emerge, they are the first ones on record to be associated with a once-illegal drug that Colorado voters legalized for recreational use, as of January 1, 2014. One man jumped to his death after consuming a large amount of marijuana contained in a cookie, and in the other case, a man allegedly shot and killed his wife after eating marijuana candy.

Could there have been extenuating circumstances that caused the one Nah - the present is 'separate' from the past - bears no relation. The DEMON WEED did it all! (/sarc)
How many died with alcohol in their system? Then do a comparison.
No one should die from using either drug. Someone using either of the two drugs, both of which reduce a person’s ability to think rationally and distort judgment....is not very smart. And overdosing on either drug to cause their death, or the death of someone else, is downright stupid. Doing a comparison to show that more people die from alcohol use than from marijuana use....is that rationalizing, or what? Considering death as the end result in the misuse of either: "What difference does it make?"
Are you claiming that being drunk and being stoned is similar? Did you try either or both?
The article is about death caused by drugs. I'm claiming that dying as the result of using any drug is senseless.

One was caused by jumping, second was cause by a gun or something like that. Neither was caused by drug.
There is zero evidence the deaths were a direct cause of the drugs.
