At least they attached this bit of information. In the past they would not have done so. Although sometimes I think these "incremental steps" size's are approaching zero. Drug policy changes at a glacial pace. “There is no evidence the marijuana contributed to his death, however.”

The proby's are grabbing any branch in the stream to try and do their work to keep the cartels in business.

At first this seemed to be an unrelated issue. But considering most against non Pharmaceutical drugs use snaps and zippers. This is a warning sign to parents. One the police brushed off as rhetoric. Now we see the results. Buttons push a person beyond their normal controls. It takes dexterity and time not wasted with velcro. Jeron Lewis was a good man and whoever turned him on to clothing with buttons, should be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law. DARE to keep your kids off buttons! AP Washington DC

FDA approved drugs are newly introduced to the population. Cannabis has been around for 5000 years. If it were exacerbating conditions we'd have a pretty good idea of it by now. 100 million living people in the US have consumed cannabis. They keep trying to pin health issues on cannabis, but none have stuck, not even lung damage from smoking. DEXtronaut, that’s just silly. FDA approved drugs are newly introduced to the population.

I'm talking here about adding $10 Million for the zeroed-out by (even!) Bush ADAM program, which bothers to drug test all arrestees so that lurid shocking statistics can be produced that, e.g., xx% of all criminal arrestees had marijuana or whatever in their bodily fluids. I was never sure what this program produced, other than stereotyping and a "correlation = causation" logic fail, but according to DOJ: "Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) Program: $10.0 million for ADAM, which is a survey to collect data on drug use by arrestees, helping to inform policy decisions about evolving trends in the types of drugs used and their relationship to the crimes being committed. In conjunction, this survey provides a wealth of information on the characteristics of arrestees not available from administrative record systems, including their demographic, educational, employment and economic characteristics, as well as their prior involvement with the criminal justice system. ADAM also provides unique detailed information about illicit drug markets and the nature of illicit drug transactions not available from any other source. There is $0 in FY 2011 current services for this program."

I'm not a Dr. but I know every year different substances contribute to illness & death. This is why we hear that 2 years after a drug has FDA approval there are suddenly side effects previously unknown or not reported. 5 years from now it may be common knowledge that smoking pot leads to, or aggravates an enlarged heart. No disrespect intended, but he may have contributed to this tragic event that cost him his life. And no, I am in no way implying he deserved to die, just that he may have contributed to his death by getting high. The uninformed are always funny. the comments on that article are interesting, but this one really made me giggle
