Did you just come on here to try to scare folks?
Or is it, now that you don't smoke anymore, you don't want others to have fun? There's a quote..."nothing worse than a reformed whore." Bruce Lee DID have an autopsy, and yes, TRACES of marijuana were reportedly found. If he had consumed a massive amoount of ANYTHING, I'm sure it would have been reported. They did find he had had a reaction to a drug, however. Equagesic, which is a drug for pain. He had a reaction to it, his brain swelled, and he went into a coma. That's what I've found.People like potheads laugh when they hear that a lethal strain of Nepali Hashish killed Bruce Lee. Nepali hashish from Katmandu is very potent and strong. It's concentrated into a brick--it's strong.
Here are two types of potheads: 1) the fat or middle-sized veteran who has been eating or smoking weed or hash for a long time.
2) the newbie or newjack potsmoker who probably goes to high school or college.
both of the above 2 types have a good amount of body fat to buffer the effects of Nepali hashish.
Bruce Lee had almost no body fat.
Also nepali hashish (the real potent type which I think is called SuperNepali) is very, very expensive. The above 2 types of potheads may take a vacation or trip to Amsterdam and be able to score this very expensive Nepali hashish. But, Bruce Lee was eating A LOT OF this prohibitively expensive Nepali hashish over a period of 5 or 6 months, from the filming of Game of Death to the making of Enter the Dragon. None of the above 2 types of potheads could afford to eat so much potent Nepali hashish every day for that long a time period. If they did, their bodies would do what Bruce's body did: vomit, to get rid of the poisons.
You would have to be a retired, very wealthy athlete to take as much Nepali hashish to kill a person. In good physical health with no body fat to buffer the potentially lethal effects of the hashish. Please note that hashish unlike weed is not leafy, it's an ugly, mud brick.
Also, Bruce had side effects from Nepali hashish--severe headaches. Even the movie Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story and all his close friends would say Bruce had severe headaches. Go and speak with the chinese elders who would be the same age as Bruce Lee would have been today--in their 60's and 70's and tell them about "Dai-ma" pronounced "Die-Mah". It's the cantonese word for Hashish and they will also agree that is what killed him.
It's worth noting that to understand what killed Bruce is to know what type of symptoms he had which led to his death: 1) vomiting 2) seizures 3) severe headaches, fainting and coma. All these symptoms run hand in hand with herbal poisoning. In fact, if you do a google search "vomiting + seizures + fainting/and or coma" you will get a long list of results showing "poisonous herbs."
In fact there's one herbal plant that if you eat a normal amount of, nothing will happen, but if you o-d on it or eat too much you will get headaches, vomiting and seizures!
Can you believe that? So please be careful on your trip to Holland or anywhere else where you can get a strong strain of hashish.
So, there you have it...the average pot smoker laughs at the educated research that hashish is what killed Bruce Lee because the average pot smoker doesn't have the following:
1) a lot of money to afford a large amount of what in small quantities is very expensive, namely a lethal strain of hashish and a lot of money to eat a lot of it every day for 6 months.
2) zero or very low body fat. This body fat would help buffer the potent effects of Nepali hashish.
Remember Linda Lee made a quick statement after Bruce died that she held no suspicion of nothing other than natural causes. Why did she do that so soon before an autopsy? Because she needed to say so for life insurance purposes and to prevent a epidemic in Hong Kong of Hashish use and to preserve Bruce's name in the eyes of children. The children of 1973 have grown up now. Do the research on the web site "Bruce Lee: The Divine Wind", read "Dynamic Becoming" by James Bishop copyr. 1997. All the respected martial arts authorities including Asian film expert Bey Logan know that it was hashish that killed him.
The 35th anniversary of Bruce Lee's death will occur on July 20, 2008. Out of respect to Bruce Lee, I have quit cannabis. I'm not a republican, conservative anti-drug freak. I'm still a liberal tolerant Democrat. But this info. needs to be told, out of respect to Bruce Lee.
and out of respect to Bruce Lee, a great human being, please don't make fun of this message.....
Peace...find joy in meditation....
Dr. Peter Wu conducted research on Nepali Hashish and neurological problems among Asian males;
please see: jkdstreetdefense.com
Bruce was lulled also into believing that cannabis cannot kill. Hashish is to weed, what crack cocaine is to powder cocaine (100 x stronger).
maybe bruce started using cannabis in the form of regular weed in the mid 1960's (almost everyone was using it at that time).
In fact, the places where bruce lived in (on the west coast), like Seattle, San Francisco, & Los Angeles are areas where there is a lot of cannabis use.
"Bruce started location-hunting for the Game of Death. He went to India and Nepal. It was in Nepal that he saw Pagodas that he wanted to incorporate into the Game of Death" (paraphrase from Bruce Lee, the Legend documentary). It was also in this location-hunting and trip to Nepal, that Bruce experimented with Nepali Hashish.
He might have felt that hashish was as innocent as the pot brownies he would eat with his movie star friends like Dean Martin back in the mid 1960's.
He must have been getting some joy from hash use because if he didn't get any euphoria, he would have stopped taking it. 2 months before his death, when bruce was doing voice dubbing for enter the dragon, he had the same symptoms and went into a brief coma. The doctors in this 2- months-before-death-event found a lot of cannabis in Bruce's stomach.This is the STRONGEST claim AGAINST the theory that equagensic caused an allergic reaction. The doctor who examined bruce 2 months before he died would have pointed out that equagensic caused an allergic reaction and bruce wouldn't take it anymore. equagensic provided no euphoria, it had no redeeming value, for which bruce would want to continue taking this headache pill. At first the side effects were just severe headaches. When he didn't need to perform a lot of martial arts for Enter The Dragon, but instead would supervise other martial artists in the movie or do something easy like voice dubbing, he would eat a lot of the nepali hashish. when he ate a lot of it (or much, much more than he usually would) he would vomit, have seizures and go into a coma. This seems to have only happened twice in May 1973 (2 months before event) and in July 20, 1973, when he died.
After this 2 months before his death incident, bruce went to Los Angeles, CA and saw a specialist. Since he took a plane from Hong Kong to CAlif, he didn't want to risk getting caught smuggling hash with him, so he didn't use hash at that time. the specialist therefore, after giving him a physical, saw nothing wrong with bruce, this gave bruce another false sense of security.
You may find the following personal story interesting. In fact 3 months ago, (February, 200when I was still trying to quit weed. I waked and baked and then a piece of a glass bottle was stuck on my sneaker, I tried to push it off by grinding it against the concrete. When that didn't work, I used my finger and I sliced my middle finger on my right hand with this broken glass bottle. It was a deep cut and the blood took a long time to clot. I later blamed this stupidity in using my finger to brush off the broken glass on being in a morning haze of a wake and bake. This further pushed my desire to quit cannabis as soon as possible.
When I started thinking and researching Bruce's life and correcting the wrongs of the movie, Dragon, The Bruce Lee Story, one wrong I corrected was that Bruce beat or won the match against Wong Jack Man, not the other way around. Bruce hurt his back not from losing the fight against Wong Jack Man, but by not warming up enough before doing back exercises. Hollywood, just probably thought that putting this "exercise injury" in the movie was not interesting enough. Even though beating Wong Jack Man was a fight for civil rights, the right to teach Gung Fu to people of all races, blacks, whites, hispanics. After researching what exactly killed my role model and coming to the conclusion that the hashish he was taking poisoned him. No one killed or poisoned Bruce, because he was too much of a long-term "cash cow" and a hero, so there was no real motive even among the Chinese gang, the Triads. Anyway, after coming to the conclusion that a very potent or lethal strain of hashish killed him, I posted a comment on a marijuana-lover's website. After doing so, (the same day), I went to the nearby public library and read a book which said that Bruce had cut his hand on a broken glass bottle during the Enter the dragon filming fight against Oharra. Enter the Dragon was filmed from January to May , 1973 (35 years ago). After all my research and learning more about Bruce (all together 9 months of study and meditation), this was the first time I heard about him cutting his hand with a broken piece of glass. Almost 35 years ago (to the day or to the month), Bruce suffered an injury similar to mine, although it was a deeper cut. Is this coincidence? I don't think so, I think it's Bruce connecting or trying to communicate with me, or maybe somehow thanking me for helping him in a small way, by trying to spread the truth, especially to a cannabis-using audience.

I personally believe that maybe the Hash and or chemicals/pesticides may have something to do with his death. I think its unfair to say that Napali hash killed him. I mean the guy had a very strict regimen of training. His routines where very intense and lengthy. Today we know this as overtraining. Main side affects include the mentioned vomiting and headaces. Add some dirty hash, yeah i bet you could die. I personally believe he overdosed on life itself. Wore his body out ate some nasty hash and the end.
Quiting weed out of respect to Bruce Lee is hypocritical. His main teachings were to find your own "way". Like his unfinished martial art called jeet kun do, its intended to teach a person how to use his/her own body to react in a fight. Its not all about back fists and stepping side kicks over and over. Its about learning the possibile movements, master them, then mold them to your body type and style. Find what works best for you.
I think this thread kinda sucks. I wish someone had some facts and cited resources. All i see are opinions. I would love to know how he really died. Thing is guy had mad cash im sure the truth will never be discovered. To respect Bruce Lee would be to stop trying to find the cause of his death. He obviously didnt want the public to know so repect him and shut the fuck up.
Bruce lee was trying to tell me something. OMFG LOL i bet your christian too huh.

um dude, your an idiot, bruce died because of a bad reaction between his anti headache/seizure meds, and an analgesic which contained a muscle relaxer, you might want to actually research your facts, and not dis the greatest philosopher since philosophy, um gee would the hash that bruce consumed regularly kill him? or the drugs he was recently put on after collapsing with seizures maybe react poorly to a painkiller offered him by his coworker,People like potheads laugh when they hear that a lethal strain of Nepali Hashish killed Bruce Lee. Nepali hashish from Katmandu is very potent and strong. It's concentrated into a brick--it's strong.

This thread makes me fantasise about bubble hash...hey now! it's totally true!
Bruce got stuck with a dirty marijuana needle and died from and overdose.
the same thing happened to John F Kennedy
you can clearly see on the Zapruder film, the exact moment where that potent Nepalese hashish Blew His Mind!

See, when you start posting folk lore as science, you get into problems with believability. Crack cocaine is - at MOST something like 14 percent stronger than pure powder cocaine hydrochcloride. it is not 100 times more strong, this casts a lot of doubt upon the rest of your story. Now, the hash you are talking about isn't any stronger than the finest bubble hash and I have yet to hear of anyone, fat or not that has died from a bubble hash overdose. Nor do I believe that fat "buffers" thc and that a lack of fat would drive thc into the body as fat does not "buffer" anything - there is a metabolic process that deals with thc and that process has to do with active organs and not passive fat.

TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL TOXICITY DATA: 666 MG/KG ORAL-RAT LD50; 482 MG/KG ORAL-MOUSE LD50; 525 MG/KG ORAL-DOG LD5O; 29 MG/KG INTRAVENOUS-RAT LD50; 42 MG/KG
Just to finish this stupid thread up. 666 mg per kg. Let's do the math together. Bruce Lee weighed 128 lbs at his death - or 58 kg. 58 X 666 = 38628 mg or 38.6 GRAMS of pure THC. Now, some of the best hash in the world may be 70 percent "pure". I don't believe that but fine. What is hash? it is a mass of trichomes - trichome bases or hairs, waxes and the like. Nepalese hash is gathered by rubbing the hands on buds. The resin that remains on the hands is scraped off to form balls or "fingers". While it is very VERY fresh it retains a great deal of potency but many of the spheres or resin bearing bodies are burst, resulting in resins that are more susceptable to oxidation which is one reason why the balls got crusty on the outside while staying goey on the inside. So, strong as it was reputed to be, I believe some of the dry sifted forms were stronger given the time between manufacture, storage, transport and sale. Because hand rubbed hash is subject to contamination of trapped water - if the buds were wet, in persperation from hands and due to environmental conditions, the substance was highly susceptable to mold. Dealers back then tended to, intentionaly or otherwise, claim those white streaks were "opium". Fresh or cooked opium is not white, it is a greenish brown.
Given that the hash was 50 pecent THC, Lee would have had to have eaten 76 grams of it, or 2.7 ounces. The only flaw in my numbers is not numerical it is physiological. Men are not (with exceptions) rats. We don't know the LD50 of THC in humans for obvious reasons but I suspect it is even higher. In my day I handled a LOT of nepalese or reputed to be nepalese temple hash - it ranged from shit to super strong but I never ever had any that could have rivaled good bubble hash. The very fact that it was a solid or semi-solid indicated that it was far from "pure" THC as THC is most commonly an oil. I don't know the LD50 of the other consitutants of hashish.
With regard to insecticides or herbicides, I don't know for certain but I don't think that Nepal was on any DEA spray lists for any number of reasons - There were likely diplomatic issues with Nepal, China and the U.S. that did not exist in Mexico. I believe nepal is or was rather remote and at high altitude as well so it is unlikely that the fields were systematicaly sprayed, even so, depending upon the herbicide, I doubt that residual contamination would be enough to kill a human in a single dose. Those that have been inadvertantly sprayed with such chemicals got HUGE doses and relatively few of them succumbed quickly if at all.
The oral LD50 of paraquat, in its various forms, for rats ranges from about 20 mg/kg (10) to 150 mg/kg (6). The oral LD50 of the dichloride form of paraquat is 196 mg/kg in mice, 50 mg/kg in monkeys, and 48 mg/kg in cats (6). The oral LD50 of paraquat in the cow is 50-75 mg/kg (6).
50 mg per kg in monkeys means that Lee would have had to have ingested 3248 mg or 3.2 grams of paraquat. Possible I suppose. Not very likely though.
