I was reading an article on thesite's section "truth about drugs" and found this information on Cannabis.Is this true because i thought no-one has died from using Cannabis.
Cannabis: In 1996 there were 4 cannabis-related deaths (2) - however by smoking joints with tobacco in them users do put themselves at risk of the smoking-related deaths.

If you're really worried do some diggin
eg a recent report in the BMJ (British Medical Journal) talked about a rise in Ecstasy related deaths. However the dataset, people they got data on, were class A poly-substance users with heroin dependency and they just happened to test for MDMA, not to mention H, crack, coke, speed, etc.
However you can have problems with oil as sometimes nasty solvents are used to extract it.
lol!!!
Ya, seriously though, "cannabis related death" could mean a lot of things. As has already been mentioned, it might have been found in the system along with other substances. Or, it could mean it drove someone to suicide, or a terrible accident, etc. Kind of like how a drunk-driving car accident could classify as an "alcohol related death". Or maybe it was an alergic reaction, or someone could have choked on a clump that got into the pipe, who knows? We'd have to see the article for specifics I guess.
