My cousin was just a 19 year old kid. A senior in high school. He was always a favorite in our family, and everyone loved him. He was a football player, and an active member in our church and community.
Well, one day, during his senior year, he went to a party. Apparently some liberal parents had gone out of town, and left their child unattended (why am I not surprised by the irresponsible parents) so he decided to throw a party. Well when my cousin arrive the other kids were drinking, and smoking, and behaving pretty poorly.
Since most of these kids were passing around a marijuana cigarette, my cousin felt a little bit out of place. At first, he refused to smoke. But the kids kept putting peer pressure on him by saying things like, "just take a puff", "all the cool kids are doing it" and "nobody has ever died from smoking marijuana." Finally, my cousin succumbed to the pressure, and he took a puff.
Well, on that fateful night, his heart gave out. Another overdose on MJ!

Er. Wow. I'm very very sorry for your loss on that day, but I seriously doubt that your family has uncovered a medical first: the marijuana overdose. There's no such thing. Marijuana has no lethal dose. Look it up. Really. Anywhere. Try WebMD.

People call it a 'gateway drug' saying that it leads to other drug use, this can be true, not necessarily true. I don't think it should be illegal, I live in Canada and there are no laws against personal use here. It does however support a huge underbelly of crime when you buy pot, so you can be as correct as you want but you are supporting crime. It has a huge amount of tar when compared to cigarettes. People also have said that is is non-addictive which I believe to be hugely false. It may not be chemically addictive but you can quickly fall into a trap of smoking every day and escaping the outside world. It stays in your body the longest out of any other drugs as well. They can check for it in your hair follicles months and longer hair, years after you smoke regularly and find traces of it there.

I sure hope you are not speaking of ALL liberals out there. I am a liberal and I am well aware of the dangers of marijuana. Do keep in mind that plenty of Republicans & Democrats smoke marijuana. Don't just narrow it down to the liberals. That's ignorant if you ask me.

MJ doesn't cause heart failure.....reread the autopsy report. The guy must have already had a heart condition or other dangerous drugs were involved that you were unaware of. Don't be so quick to point out the problem when you don't know every detail of that night and his health problems or Rx he was taking. Maybe he drank something that the meds where not to be mixed with or even steriods, you JUST NEVER KNOW. But I do know that you CAN NOT OD on MJ, that's bologna!!!

a marijuana overdose? come on ypou can't be serious. Perhaps the marijuana may have been "laced" with something else, but a quick google and yahoo search does not produce any support for your MJ OD claim.
Lacing is exactly why drugs should be legalised and regulated. Many people smoke pot and are drawn toward other drugs as a result of lacing techniques. People are going to do drugs regardless of the law and they should have the peace of mind to know they are doing the actual drug they chose with no other additives.
Consider the possibility that the drug laws, in and of themselves, are the actual gateway to other drugs...

I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your cousin, that's really sad. But I wouldn't say the parent's are irresponsible, if your cousin was 19 then I'm guessing the kid that threw the party was about the same age???? At 18 you are considered an adult, so I wouldn't put the blame on the parent's for trusting their child while they wern't at home. Peer pressure is very tough and it's sad the way some teens are put on those spots. But, once again I'm very sorry to hear about your loss, it's tragic and should never have happened.

First of all, are parents crazy liberal for leaving a 19 year old home while they go away? Are you kidding me?
Secondly, he didn't overdose on pot. Sorry... Didn't happen.
