A Louisiana cororner believes he recorded the first death caused by THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana. But other medical experts aren't so sure.

Dr. Christy Montegut, the coroner of St. John the Baptist Parish, ruled that a 39-year-old LaPlace woman died in February of excessive amounts of THC.

"It looked like it was all THC because her autopsy showed no physical disease or afflictions that were the cause of death," Montegut told the New Orleans Advocate. "There was nothing else identified in the toxicology – no other drugs, no alcohol. There was nothing else."

The toxicology report said the woman had 8.4 nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood. Montegut said the woman, who was not identified, likely vaped highly concentrated THC oil and went into respiratory failure.

But others are skeptical of Montegut's ruling.

Keith Humphreys, a former senior policy adviser at the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, told the newpaper that if THC could kill someone, plenty of overdose deaths would have already been recorded.

Dr. Noah Kaufman, an emergency room doctor in Colorado, said THC should not impact a person's breathing based on the way it enters the body. 

"However, it can cause extreme anxiety," Kaufman told New Orlean's CBS affiliate. "It can cause heart palpitations and an increase in your heart rate."

Kaufman said it is possible that other drugs were not picked up by the toxicology report or that other factors caused her death. 

A police report noted the woman allegedly visited the emergency room with a chest infection three weeks before she died, according to the CBS affiliate.

"Everything looked above the board and the only thing they found was the THC in the blood and so they made an association," Kaufman said.

Seems kind of crock-ish at first glance.  Who knows if the supposed ER visit was related?

That does seem like a shitload of THC though.

Doubtful. I am skeptical.

My dumbass state is more dumbass than your dumbass state.  
It was close to passing here last time, and likely will next.  Though, I don't have a lot of faith....because of the dumbass-ness that is Arizona.

I think it's a crock too.  If people could OD on cannabis we would have heard of a lot more by now.  She was in the hospital 3 weeks earlier for chest infection...meanwhile the DR. never mentioned.  This is a typical Southern US...

Exactly. This is some sort of weird bible-belt crusader. I'm guessing he's a prohibitionist. There was clearly an underlying medical condition that may have been exacerbated by heavy THC intake. We've had "first ever case of THC overdose" stories in the past but they always are shown to have been premature or incorrect in the diagnosis. I'll consider this bullshit unless/until there's some sort of medical community consensus. Right now, he's a lone voice in the wilderness and there are plenty of medical-field skeptics chiming in to cast doubt.

It's interesting (heartening, even), how many doctors I've come across who are proponents of cannabis for assistance with a variety ailments and diseases.  Of course, it doesn't work for everyone, but when it does?  It can be a lifesaver.

I just discovered Grassp (new delivery service) and am awaiting my first order from them.
