He was already in the hospital when this happened according to my findings. Compazene didn't have any enti-emetic effects.

WHAT?There are more than just one occurance.I suggest you do a search on the related deaths and cannibis.

CANNABIS (pot, dope, blow, grass, marijuana, ganga, weed, skunk, hash, draw, puff)

Acute Effects: Talkative, hilarity, well-being, self-confidence, appreciation of sound & colour Poor concentration Impaired driving Anxiety, agitation, paranoia Cannabis psychosis (high doses) Dry mouth, red conjunctivae Tachycardia, increased blood pressure, postural hypotension

Chronic effects: Cannabis psychosis with long term heavy use Amotivational syndrome Reduced sperm count in men Reduced fertility in women Bronchitis & emphysema ? Lung cancer Heart Disease

In comparison to tobacco, cannabis is poorly combustible and burning results in production of abundant tars and hydrocarbons which are particularly toxic to the lungs. The particles in the smoke are deposited throughout the lungs and are subsequently taken up by the lung's scavenger cells (alveolar macrophages). This results in numerous microscopic pigment-laden macrophages being scattered and grouped throughout the lungs. Scarring results in chronic degenerative lung disease (emphysema). There is a higher incidence of cancer in comparison to tobacco smoking.
