In today's issue of the British Medical Journal, Prof Henry and other doctors from Imperial College, and St Mary's Hospital, both in London, say cannabis could be a major contributor to UK deaths.

Researchers calculate that if 120,000 deaths are caused among 13million smokers, the corresponding figure among 3.2million cannabis smokers would be 30,000.

Prof Henry added: "Even if the number of deaths turned out to be only a fraction of the 30,000 we believe possible, cannabis smoking would still be described as a major health hazard.

In December, a Chicago Uber driver was charged with criminal sexual assault after a passenger said she blacked out and woke up in his apartment with the man on top of her. She later texted a friend and said she'd been sexually assaulted.

However, the charges against the driver were later dropped after an audio recording made the night of the alleged attack surfaced. Defense attorneys said the audio proved the sexual contact between the driver and the passenger was consensual.

Earlier that month, an Uber driver in Boston pleaded not guilty to multiple charges in the alleged rape of a passenger. In that case, the driver allegedly climbed into the back seat with a female passenger, then beat her before locking the doors and sexually assaulting her.

In July, Boston Police linked Alejandro Done, the driver in that case, to five other sexual assaults by DNA evidence and witnesses.

and nobody has actually died from cannabis in history unless they also regularly use tabacco, which is a statistic daily mail tried to subvert into making people believe maijuana is toxic

you'd literally need to smoke about x1000 the effective dose of thc to get anything close to lethal its really dumb
