Just seen on the news that some kid ate a 200mg gummy pot candy and now its causing a shit storm with all the people that think marijuana is bad, just after med MJ has passed here, now all the haters will be out with torches and pitchforks yelling "Marijuana is bad Mmkay". So nothing but low thc oil avail in FL now, Instead of blaming the MJ industry, why not do a news story on how someone broke the law by selling a minor something he couldnt of got legally anyways. They make it out like he got sick and could of died or something. And the haters saying this will be a every day event if we get to stage where they make/sell stuff like this in fl.
Of course there's this too. My Son Died From Accidental Prescription Drug Overdose http://medicineabuseproject.org/stories/my-son-died-from-accidental-prescription-drug-overdose Think I'd rather have my kid get goofy for a few hours instead of dead. As an anecdotal thought; I had my stomach pumped and nearly overdosed on chocolate Ex-Lax as a four year old in 1964. Thought the shit was candy. Fucking hysteria pimps out for a not-news headline when kids getting into drugs has been around for generations. At least MJ won't kill them, which is more than you can say for most anything else. What would you have your 4 year old get into? A bottle of Nyquil, or, a hash brownie? If my kid swills the NyQuil and dies, it's a fuckin' accident. If he/she eats a hash brownie and tells the tale to a teacher, I lose my kid because of endangerment. Go figger........;edited all the ranty heartless soulless fucks shit. Got kinda pissed; cheers,
Good points Res. You should be a lawyer. Seriously you are good at making understandable arguments. Nice tight logic. Surprising perspective. All the hallmarks of a good litigator. I agree completely. Forget about kids and booze. Though I have to say in general I do not buy the argument that the existence of worse makes allowance for bad, and it's bad for kids to get high. And I think it's probably true that mainstreaming cannabis will increase incident rates. Making a big stink about a kid's cannabis "overdose" is par for the course. Exaggerating the seriousness and danger is, in my opinion, low-brow. Like a petulant old aunt feigning illness to spoil a visit. I don't know if I believe in this cannabis overdose thing at all. I have been trying to overdose on cannabis every day for the last 5-10 years, with great industry and persistence. Now I'm a pretty capable guy, usually able to achieve my goals in life. But I've never been rendered speechless, comatose, paralytic, unconscious, unresponsive, etc due to cannabis alone. The booze takes care of that for me.
Don't know if that's a compliment Mr. Farmer. (present company excepted of course). I too have pursued this "cannabis overdose" phenomena with great vigor over many courses of applications and combinations. To this date I'm happy to report I have found no combination of ridiculously large amounts of edibles, tinctures, oils, waxes, flowers, and teas over a decade long test period has produced the desired effect. Perhaps more cannabis applications with greater frequency?
I recall some cannabis documentary that covered an Indian pot festival where these pro shaman canna priests would get together in public and smoke prodigious amounts of pot. Like head in the oven amounts. They would eventually just fall asleep which is what happens to me every night. I suppose you could manage to ingest higher levels of thc if you ate drank and smoked all at once. But in short order you forget to keep ingesting and fall asleep.
You guys obviously never ate my brownies before. I swear once I had to make my wife drive me to work the next day, cause I was still that fucked up lol I'm all for labeling and frankly believe dosage should be limited so people don't get to stoned. Our medical is like this also but it's for just cause, you don't want to eat a kit Kat and not feel to much and go to work...then next day eat a kit Kat and not be able to move. Edibles are much more intense in my hood, shit I rarely get in the kitchen anymore because I'm like a beat puppy. For years I tried to see how much shit I could pack in there, but now with wisdom and age I'm not training to sleep for a day or three at a time. Best advice is agree with people when they point this out, then compare to over the counter drugs because they'll kill you, but you know each pill is 200 mg of ibuprofen...a controlled dose. It's puts the naysayers in a corner
I do remember when you took a Dab on a rig after me at our friends house you were pretty speechless for a while. nippie my Brownies are know as coma brownies. DXE and ducrider can attest to that. Unfortunately, with legalization will come the people who will scream and say how bad it is. As legalization continues the negative attitude will soften over time. Now where's my Vap Pen?
Prob a good thing I dont live up by you guys (north us crowd here). You guys would prob have me overdosed on stuff. Lol. Me and Mad Max were hanging out last week and he'll tell ya, after 1/2 joint I am good. I dont know how much a 200 mg gummy even is. Wonder if I ate one what would happen?
was that the time I blew a headful of snot all over the room and most of the people in it at BB's? I couldn't breath for like an hour, and then only in little pleading gasps. I was hoping to forget that particular party foul.
