Last stuff I read pointed to it just being a trigger for something that would have happened with exposure to any of a wide range of substances (including the possibility of alcohol), and probably would have occurred without a specific trigger eventually anyway.

And you're dead right, a lot of the people experiencing an MJ triggered illness were self medicating to begin with, including mixing substances.

The caveat: I haven't had full access to the medical library in over a decade, so my shit is not cutting edge. I'm also working from memory, so there's that.
