GettyIt was just last week that some coroner from Louisiana made national news by claiming that a woman died as a result of a marijuana overdose. So it was no surprise really that nearly every news organization ran a version of the THC overdose story, suggesting that marijuana experts were protesting the claim. I, for one, found this rather humorous, since there really is no such thing as a cannabis expert. Because the federal government continues to hinder cannabis research, not even the scientific community knows enough about marijuana to call themselves experts. For example, back in 2014, the University of Pennsylvania came out and said that opioid overdose deaths were on the decline in states where medical marijuana was legal.
