I can easily see how a really strong dose of edibles could potentially freak out someone and cause them to do some irrational shit. If you jump, or fall, from a high balcony and you are higher than a kite, I suppose you could attribute the death to weed intoxication. Over-intoxication.

If a drunk guy falls from a balcony, wouldn't we likely blame alcohol for the death, in some fashion?

Third Death in Colorado Linked to Marijuana Edibles
BY NEWS DESK | MARCH 27, 2015

The third death associated with marijuana edibles could not have come at a worse time for the state’s 15-month-old legal pot industry. Services are being held today in Tulsa, OK, for Luke Goodman, 23, who reportedly killed himself last Saturday night in a condo at Colorado’s Keystone Ski Area, where he was staying for two weeks with his family.

It will be a few weeks before toxicology reports will be returned, but Goodman’s family and friends suspect that edible marijuana was a factor in the self-inflicted gunshot death. His mother, Kim Goodman, blames her son’s death on “a complete reaction to the drugs.”

The two other Colorado deaths associated with pot-infused foods were:

Wyoming college student Levy Thamba Pongi, 19, who took a leap from a Denver hotel balcony after eating pot-infused cookies. “Marijuana intoxication” was listed by the coroner as a significant factor in his death.

Kristine Kirk, 44, who was allegedly shot and killed by Richard Kirk. She had called 911 to report that her husband was experiencing hallucinations after taking marijuana candy with prescription medicine. Prosecutors have charged him with first degree murder.
