When you claim over and over that no one has ever died from pot then yes, one incident does make the case. And the science is based on the doctors who determine the cause of death.
Not one user has died. That's the claim. I guess if it a ton of weed fell on a users head that would be another example of how weed kills?
Is this a satire thread? Considering your name is MJ Jersey
I'm in love with Mary Jane.
She's my main thing.
She makes me feel alright.
She makes my heart sing.
HERE is an article that does a good job of breaking this down. The nice thing about science is it will be sorted out scientifically.

A case report about the seizure and death of an 11-month old after exposure to cannabis has prompted headlines about “the first marijuana overdose death” this week.
Except that’s not what the doctors meant.
“We are absolutely not saying that marijuana killed that child,” said Thomas Nappe, an author of the report who is now the director of medical toxicology at St. Luke’s University Health Network in Bethlehem, Pa.
...The authors added that,” As of this writing, this is the first reported pediatric death associated with cannabis exposure.”
Nappe emphasized that the word “associated” should not be interpreted as indicating a cause and effect.
Drug policy and health experts also warned against making too much of the report.
“You just can’t make those statements because then what happens is lay people say, ‘Oh my God, did you hear a kid died from marijuana poisoning?’ and it can be sensationalized,” said Noah Kaufman, a Northern Colorado emergency room physician.
“It’s not based on reality. It’s based on somebody kind of jumping the gun and making a conclusion, and scientifically you can’t do that.”

Thank you, Old Town. I doubt it will change the OP thoughts at all. Remember, this is the same poster that believes cannabis use causes people to eat other people's faces off.
I have no issue with weed being legalized, but I do draw the line at "edibles". I mean, who could produce and market hard candy, chocolate, cookies and baked goods infused with MJ and NOT anticipate that it would be attractive to children? Utter stupidity.

...you've never been anywhere near an edible, have you?
They have a VERY strong smell, and not one that would be appealing to kids at all.

Who knows what attracts kids? Apparently dishwasher soap 'pods' are quite attractive to kids too.
Doesn't really matter, it's up to parents to protect their kids, be it from their booze, tobacco, cleaning products, prescription meds, OTC drugs, knives, scissors, electric outlets, etc., etc., etc. or MJ.
Households can be very dangerous to tots, MJ or no MJ.
Apparently that's not the case. I still remember the time as a kid I ate unsweetened baking chocolate (horrid-I don't recommend it!!) because it...looked like a candy bar. Dumb to think kids wouldn't eat edibles that do so.
