| and not just mellow, very, very mellow? According to press reports, a British man, Lee Maisey, 36, had smoked 6 cannabis cigarettes a day for 11 years prior to his death in Summerhill, Pembrokeshire, last August. The coroner found during an inquest that other causes of death could be ruled out and laid the blame directly on Mr Maisey’s cannabis consumption. "This type of death is extremely rare," Professor John Henry, a toxicologist at Imperial College, London, said after the inquest at Haverfordwest, west Wales, according to The Age. "I have not seen anything like this before. It corrects the argument that cannabis cannot kill anybody." According to The Mirror, Mr Maisey’s cannabis use amounted to "24,000 reefers" over the 11 year period. Second Headline: British Cheetos Consumption Falls to 11 Year Low in August |

| #9 "24,000 reefers" over the 11 year period Does this make him like the Wilt Chamberlain of dope? Also, anybody know what he did for a living? I'd love to know the answer to that one. |

| #5 Maybe they are just trying to measure his brainwaves. They should check his pulse instead. |

| #2 Wow, the first guy in recorded history to die of a THC overdose? I'm skeptical. Of couse, 6 joints a day is a lot of unfiltered smoke. He shoulda used a bong - clean and cool. |

| #1 A toxicologist should know better than to say that one incident, if true, proves a case. Epidemiologically poor science. |
