  • The first full post-mortems of people who died after smoking cannabis suggest that the drug can kill unaided. Cannabis has been known to cause death when laced with other substances, by triggering a heart condition or by causing respiratory cancers. But whether it can be directly lethal has remained unclear. A 2011 report from the UK Department of Health says no cases of fatal overdose have been associated with cannabis. But earlier this month, a UK coroner's report found that a 31-year-old woman died from a marijuana overdose.
