Louisiana has declared the first reported death from a THC overdose in the U.S.
According to www.wpxi.com, Dr. Christy Montegut, the Coroner of parish St. John The Baptist, has found that a woman died from a THC overdose, the active ingredient in marijuana.

The Advocate has reported that Montegut said in his report released in May that an unnamed 39-year-old woman died in February from a THC overdose.

“I’m thinking this lady must have vaped this THC oil and got a high level in her system and (it) made her stop breathing, like a respiratory failure,” said Montegut, who has served as coroner since 1988.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse remains doubtful however and has said that there are no reports of teens or adults dying solely from marijuana.
