To hear some people tell it, MJ is a miracle drug, maybe he took it to cure himself of the alcohol.

are it wasn't pot, but alchohol if either of the two. Pot doesn't kill people. It makes them sit on the couch and eat potato chips.

Once again, the death cannot be ruled an accident when one smokes pot and drinks alcohol knowing of the side effects of both. To be an accident the death would have been the result of chance and without an apparent cause. Chance is greatly reduced when the evil drugs of pot and alcohol are used/abused.
