I think maybe the baby died from the leaf chemicals that’s used to roll up the weed now that’s possible
I heard to die from marijuana u have to cosume 1/3 of your body weight. If the baby consumed alot of it in a short time than he might’ve ate 1/3 of his weight. How much does an 11mo old weighs ? 20lbs maybe less
Well if marijuana die kill him hes a young child it most likely wouldnt take alot
I️ call bullshit..
Bullshit…more likely poor medical care…they sure didn’t seem too concerned they let an 11 month old DIE to make a sensational claim…why didn’t they drain the pericardial sack if his heart wasn’t beating well…they just assume that it was the THC…stupid stupid stupid…
These Dr’s had to be paid off to make it seem like marijuana killed this kid. I really don’t believe this shit at all I’ve had friends eat like shit tones of weed and also give there kids medical cookies brownies and smoke in the same room and dab around there kids and I’ll be honest there kids turned out so smart I didn’t understand how at 3 they could read and write and count to 100 and there parents never really taught them any of that. They just loved reading them story’s and now they are 9 and 10 and advanced by 2 grades already. And have been around marijuana all there life’s and I’m talking about like a lot of it there parents smoke and eat it like a religion
The boy had a heart disease, and was 11 months old… This wasn’t a cannabis related death, this was a coincidence; maybe second hand smoke.
Fucking Fake… The kid died of an inflamed heart. Cannabis is an anti-inflammatory. Just because cannabis was in the child’s system, they immediately do a lil dance and say they have their "First Death". God the media just loved this story, spread all over. Too bad they look rather foolish once again… but then again, what’s new?
Bull s—t just because it showed up in his blood and urine, it was not the reason he died. He had a heart problem.
You would have to smoke literally a million pounds of weed to overdose, which is impossible because it would take so long to smoke that much weed that it wouldn’t all be in your system at once, also you would pass out eventually.
I guess it’s possible that someone could have a deadly THC allergy or something like that though, but that isn’t an "Overdose".
So many butt hurt druggies . Lol 😂 calm down , that was the only drug found in his system . It made him worse , he already had health issues.
i smell bullshit in the air
No way in hell cannabis can ever hurt any human or animal. Its just not medically possible and we have thousands of years of proof of this. Cannabis is the safest plant around. Drs are just sick and tired of a plant outdoing their job for them around every corner. Drs and health insurance companies are the real pushers and killers in the world. Everyone is blind, but they are coming for everyone of us, to drain our bank accounts dry before they kill us with their man made drugs that are killing us all.
He was 11 months old damn which baby can handle
"We can’t find anything else"
so you just assume?
I hate marijuana. My cousin also died from overdose. RIP
What’s with all the butthurt junkie losers? this’s science and research!
Anything can kill you.
Well it was bound to happen, i just always thought it’d be someone actually trying to see if they could OD, not something minuscule like this grasping at straws, not to say the death was minuscule my condolences to the family
No matter what we are coming for your opiates doctor. Muha muha in a Dr evil voice.
Nancy Grace would say this is proof that the feds need to overrule all the state laws, destroy every pot plant in existence and throw everyone in jail for life who currently sells pot.
It just happens to be the legal taxed shit that’s killing people. I’ve heard about a few people taking a dab hit and just dying up here in Washington state.
Technically the kid was never really alive, he was more like less dead
This is all bullshit because cannabis is an anti-inflammatory this kid died from SIDS
Lol
Just because you found weed it doesn’t mean he overdosed. He was probably using medical marijuana. That’s why you found it In his system.
More bullshit facts and propaganda….. sorry the child passed..but he passed from heart issues….and should not have had any thc in his body….. how did that happen????
"Claim" is the key word here
Maybe he was allergic
Be careful y’all. My 16 year old stepbrother took way too much edibles (I smoke weed and know how much to take) and ended up in 2 different hospitals. Smoking you can go crazy. But when taking EDIBLES BE SAFE. IF ITS YOUR FIRST TIME TRY NO MORE THAN 50mg to test the edible high. Do not take more until at least an hour passed by and you feel ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Don’t be a weed related hospital visit. #420BlazeitFadedAssEdbilesWeedDoobieLife
This doctor gotta be a fucking idiot. He probably got paid to act or sumn
The second opinion was worthless ….vain babbling
Died from heart failure. Congenital condition.
NO bullshit people’s pets have been reportedly killed by irresponsible drug addict idiots like yourselves who are leaving their drugs laying around the house to be consumed by dog , cats umm children! You people who say bullshit are stupid ignorant fucks!! Babies and pets compared to adults are a fraction of your size , which means it does not take very much at all to mess them up and potentially kill them ,it is a huge difference in how things affect us based on our size & development , why do u think a cold/flu kills a infant/baby and never a young average/normal adult … don’t think to hard I know it’s fckn painful
I call all of the bullshit
Oh BULLSHIT!!!! BULLSHIT!!!! BULLSHIT!!!
Did they find any eatable marihuana in the child’s stomach? A baby would be hard pressed and have to be extensively trained to SMOKE marihuana. The chances of second hand exposure causing this is ridiculous, but may explain traces of marihuana in the blood. This is just anti-marihuana propaganda, based on total speculation. They couldn’t prove any cause of the condition, so they blamed it on marihuana. Why not blame it on the doctor? If it wasn’t any of the things they tested for, they appear to be able to blame it on anything even vaguely related due to its presence. They found that marihuana was present at the time of death. The parents were present, their were doctors and/or paramedics present, or involved. Since they can’t find an actual cause, they can blame anything or anyone, by these standards. Why not say that this big mouth doctor is responsible for the child’s death? They can’t prove it was something else, so it is definitely his fault. This is the logic he is using to blame marihuana, the evidence shows that it is just as likely to be the doctor’s fault as it is to be the marihuana’s fault. They say NO ONE HAS EVER DIED FROM USING MARIHUANA, they don’t tell you that EVERY HOSPITAL DEATH IS OR COULD BE DIRECTLY RELATED (in some way) TO CONTACT WITH A DOCTOR OR HOSPITAL STAFF. The evidence in both instances is non-existent.
That is the dumbest thing ever is this a joke had nothing to do with that cause thc stays in pee for while so.
They poisoned all the weed
It’s funny everyone wants to turn the blame cannabis but that baby would have to eat so much weed or ingest it somehow where were the parents
Bull shit……….
The weed was laced
Who else is high asf watching this😂💀
lol……
Not marajuana it cures, it was due to passive smoking tobacco. I disagree to the cannabis is an offence to people like me who smokes cannabit on a daily basis . #smokeweedeveryday# 😂🙌
Evidence is there it was not caused by canibus it was caused by the symtoms he already had
BS
