How many marijuana related deaths isthere each year in the US?

Answer 1

I don't have the exact numbers for the U.S.... but i do have the world total.

NONE.

0. Ziltch. Nada.

Marijuana has never killed anyone. Ever. People have been killed over marijuana, but marijuana itself doesn't kill people. The lethal dose is physically impossible to consume(1.5 tons in 15 minutes.)

Answer 2

None. It is virtually impossible to die from smoking or ingesting marijuana, not counting lung cancer, emphysema and other smoking-related diseases.

The only marijuana death I have ever heard of was a 4 or 5 year-old girl who ate a pound (yes, a pound) of marijuana that her mother had baked into some brownies. It was something my sociology professor mentioned in one of our classes.

AnswerZero. Weed doesn't kill people. Guns do. ANS3:More than 5,600 people died in drug trafficking violence in Mexico in 2008, more than double the prior year. (There was no breakdown as to the ratio of other illicit drugs were involved.)

26,347 Died in motor vehicle crashes. There was no indication of the number attributed to impairment by cannabis intoxication but results from the 2009 national Youth Risk Behavior Survey report that many high school teens continue to engage in risky drug-related behaviors that lead to death. Just one month prior to the survey, nearly 30 percent of those interviewed rode in a car with someone under the influence, more than 40 percent had drunk alcohol and 20 percent had used marijuana.

It would appear that the answer is unlikely to be zero. Proponents will claim that since nobody dies outright from smoking it, it is harmless. That is a happy fiction for people who don't want to be bothered to investigate deeper.

Answer 3

According to Freedom of Information requests submitted by the group ProCon.org, from 1997 to 2005 the Food and Drug Administration recorded 279 deaths to which marijuana contributed. 187 of these deaths were listed as being directly related to the use of the cannabis plant itself.

Some doctors have also stated they believe the actual number of marijuana related deaths is probably much higher because marijuana is often dismissed as a cause of death due to it's reputation as being "harmless", due to the appearance of other substances in the deceased's toxicology reports, and routine omissions in coroners' reports.

This assessment was substantiated by an estimate published on ProCon's website linking marijuana to as many as 296 preventable deaths in the year 1990 alone.

Answer 4

I don't have an answer. I'm looking for 1 case, but I cannot find just 1 cause of death from marijuana.

Marijuana doesn't have any harm on the human body.

Answer 5

Believe it or not, not many people die annually from marijuana. It's around 0.

Answer 6

ZERO
