The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has provided some new details about a last year's case in which a 19-year-old college student jumped from four stories and died at a Holiday Inn in Denver after he ate a pot cookie.

After death of a man was linked to overconsumption of pot mixed in food, now government has warned that marijuana overdose risks should not be taken lightly.

Washington Times reported that CDC in its report linked the death of Levy Thamba, who died last year to marijuana intoxication. The victim jumped from the fourth floor balcony of a Denver hotel reportedly under the influence of marijuana. It was found that Thamba ate an entire marijuana cookie, which was equivalent to 6.5 servings of the weeds.

CDC in its report mentioned that the victim brought the 'Sweet Grass Kitchen' lemon poppy seed cookie from a legal pot shop in Colorado. He reportedly consumed the entire cookie which contained 65 milligrams of THC or tetrahydrocannabinol, the chemical that causes the marijuana high, showed report.

Probers declared that the student died due to multiple injuries due to a fall from height but authorities acknowledged marijuana intoxication partly contributed to his erratic behavior.

Reportedly, CDC's report more than a year after the incident confirmed that Thamba's death is the first reported death in Colorado that is related to marijuana intoxication.

CDC said in a statement that Thamba's case illustrates a potential danger associated with recreation edible marijuana use.

Aside from Colorado, recreational use of marijuana is also legal in Oregon, Alaska, Washington and District of Columbia.
