No evidence to link cannabis to heart conditions

I WAS staggered to read such nonsense in the article ‘Cannabis can trigger fatal heart conditions’ (Irish Examiner, May 3), in which it was reported that a tiny amount of cannabis was found in the system of a man who died due to a defective heart.

For some unknown reason, you linked the use of minor amounts of cannabis with the unfortunate death of this man.

It is irresponsible and disingenuous to imply that cannabis ‘can trigger’ such events. If the victim had eaten some grapes prior to his demise, would you be headlining the dangers of grapes for heart patients who have an undiagnosed ailment?
