"Cultures of the marijuana revealed Aspergillus fumigatus with morphology and growth characteristics identical to the organism grown from open lung biopsy specimen."
There's your proof. Exactly what you asked for. Medical marijuana can kill immunosuppressed patients.
Excuse me, but he marijuana did not kill the patient. The bacteria, which could have been eliminated, did. This is a feeble argument, based on the logical fallacy of the excluded middle. Pretty good for a drug warrior, though.

The use of pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators continues to increase for the management of cardiac dysrhythmias and, more recently, heart failure. Long-term complications associated with their use include infection, lead failure, and spurious shocks. Although the risk of infection with intracardiac devices is well known, the clinical presentation of this complication can be insidious, delayed in onset, and difficult to diagnose. We report a case of Aspergillus fumigatus infection of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator with right-sided endocarditis in a 55-year-old man. The infection presented as persistent pulmonary infiltrates (due to recurrent septic pulmonary embolism) and anemia more than 2 years after implantation of the device. Clinicians should be aware of the variable manifestations resulting from infection of intracardiac devices.
There you go, obvious proof that pacemakers can kill people, and therefore, should be outlawed.
