11 month old baby dies from pot overdose

Did parents kill this child thinking they were helping something or was it fun to overdose the child.

Denver doctors say 11-month-old boy’s deadly heart condition was likely related to marijuana

marijuana was not the cause of death. are you incapable of reading your own link? Because it seems you aren't since THIS is what the link ACTUALLY said:

Marijuana, though, was not the boy’s cause of death. Instead, the boy died from myocarditis — an inflammation of the heart muscle.
 
Total bullshit. That's as weak a conclusion as I've ever seen. It's like saying someone who died in a car accident, died because they smoked weed 2 weeks ago because weed was found in their system.

Meanwhile, 40 people in the U.S. died from using painkillers today.
 
“As of this writing, this is the first reported pediatric death associated with cannabis exposure,” the authors, Drs. Thomas Nappe and Christoper Hoyte, write in the case report. The report was published online in March in a journal connected to the Western Journal of Emergency Medicine.

Marijuana, though, was not the boy’s cause of death. Instead, the boy died from myocarditis — an inflammation of the heart muscle.

Previous studies have linked heart problems in young people to heavy cannabis use. There have been reports in Europe of adults who have died of heart conditions after using marijuana. But researchers are still unsure exactly how marijuana would cause heart problems.
 
Sounds largely circumstantial.
They found THC in the baby's system. That is called evidence. Not circumstantial. Forcing your baby to ingest marijuana is a crime and in this case a crime that led to their child's death. Read the story:

By John Ingold, The Denver Post

An 11-month-old Colorado boy’s death from a heart condition was likely related to ingestion of marijuana, two Denver doctors have concluded, but the precise link remains unclear.

The boy’s death was first reported in a study published last yearabout kids’ emergency room visits following marijuana legalization. The boy, who was not identified in that study, arrived at the hospital unresponsive and with a rapid heart beat, and he later went into cardiac arrest and died. He had no known history of health problems.

The boy tested positive for THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana. But, at the time, the researcher on the original study said he was unsure whether that was related to the boy’s death.

But, in a different case report published this year, two doctors from the Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center reveal more information about the boy’s death, while drawing a more direct line between his heart condition and the THC in his system.

He ingested marijuana and THC was found in his system. Did you read the entire article? Did you miss this part?

They were probably giving it to the baby to make him sleep. Poor little guy. Imagine your parents pumping you with drugs when you are only a baby and you rely on them to keep you healthy and safe?
It makes me want to cry. It's heartbreaking, Chris.
