Coroner says woman died of THC overdose after smoking marijuana oil

LAPLACE, La. - A Louisiana woman who died in February was killed from THC overdose, according to a coroner who said he reached the conclusion this month from a toxicology report.

The coroner's claim would make it the first-ever recorded death from a marijuana overdose, but the result is also drawing fire from skeptics. The 39-year-old woman's body was found in her apartment in LaPlace. Her name has not been released. St. John the Baptist Parish Coroner Christy Montegut told the New Orleans Advocate that the toxicology results showed that the woman was killed by an excess amount of THC.  ...

The coroner said that the THC in her system likely came through a vaping device with highly concentrated THC oil.  The toxicology report said she had 8.4 nanograms per milliliter of blood.

“I’m thinking this lady must have vaped this THC oil and got a high level in her system and (it) made her stop breathing, like a respiratory failure,” he told the Advocate. ...   FOX32 Chicago

She apparently had no other drugs in her system, so that seems to be the safest bet.

Not buying it. THC will not kill you.
THC killed me once.
But only because I thought I could fly.
I jumped off a 20 story balcony, because I am superman.
No.
I did not fly. I fell to my death. ... I think that happened?
It is not the drug that will kill you.
It is what the drug makes you do that will kill you dead.
Speaking from first hand experience. THC will kill you.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Tried one drug in my lifetime (college), pot, scared the crap out of me, never tried another drug... Lord knows I appreciate the scare, it has kept me clean for 35+ years now. So yeah, I can believe it can kill you, it did a number on this giant of a man.

I ate one of my dads ‘cookies’ once, ones that my sister got him for his back. The whole thing. My kids were impressed, especially since I chased it with a beer. I guess that’s a lot of THC, I dunno.

I didn’t even know it was an ‘edible’ at the time, I was just hungry.

The folks in ER thought it was funny but I’ll never make that mistake again.

Back in high school I read that THC could kill you, but you needed to smoke about a pound in 24 hours IIRC.

Never tested that theory myself.

Your point is a good one, though.  There are no "safe" mind altering substances.

Vaping is dangerous enough before factoring in a chemical like THC in who-knows-what concentration.

I was always told if you are stupid it might kill you. If you are really stupid it will kill you.
