It is simple to solve this problem using a Monte Carlo
simulation, that is, an approximate permutation test.
I would gladly do that, but I need to know the frequency
of pot smoking among those 124. That is, how many hours
each one spend smoking pot in a year. From this information
we can calculate how likely that there will be 9 or more
coincidences of smoking pot and having a heart attack
given statistical independence.
