So, You've Heard No One Ever Died From Marijuana

So, you have heard no one ever died from a little marijuana. So, you have seen the posts, such as this one:

Next time you see such a post, ask how that can be possible. How can it be that the risk of a heart attack increases fourfold within the first hour after smoking marijuana, yet no one has ever died from the stuff?

So, people die by the minute (I would guess) from heart attacks, and marijuana causes a fourfold increase in the risk of a heart attack, yet no one has ever died from marijuana use? There must, indeed, be something magical about marijuana that it increases the risk of a heart attack and yet none of those who have the heart attacks, none of them ever die.

Truth be told, documented cases of death by marijuana do exist:
