I can't comment on the 60 minutes piece because I'm not at able to listen to sound at the moment (SO is studying on the couch next to me), but I live in Denver and remember the story well.
1) This did NOT happen before recreational sales. It happened in March 2014, three months after recreational pot went legal.
2) The man ate a single pot cookie that contained 6-1/2 doses.
3) The store told him to cut the cookie into 6 pieces and only eat one at a time. He ate one piece and then told his friends he didn't feel anything, so ate all the rest of the cookie.
4) He started freaking out, but his friends calmed him down. Then he went to sleep but woke agitated and incoherent many times during the night, including once when he started smashing furniture.
5) At some point in the morning, he ran from his upper-floor hotel room and fell over a rail in the hallway, into the lobby below.
6) "The media" did not blame his death on pot. The coroner's report did, just as it also came back negative for alcohol or other drugs. The coroner ruled his death due to marijuana intoxication. Not "the media."
I am an avowed pothead, but FFS, to think it's impossible for someone to have a bad reaction to a drug is naive, especially with the high grade shit we have out here. I mean, some people die from eating peanuts, gluten, and shellfish, though the vast majority of people can ingest them without any problem. It's not impossible that someone could have a really bad reaction to pot. 
“Always that same LSD story, you've all seen it. 'Young man on acid, thought he could fly, jumped out of a building. What a tragedy.' What a dick! Fuck him, he’s an idiot.
If he thought he could fly, why didn’t he take off on the ground first?
Check it out. You don’t see ducks lined up to catch elevators to fly south—they fly from the ground, ya moron, quit ruining it for everybody."
Eventually..
