That is the exact problem... no standards. Give someone who is high snacks but tell them they can only eat one...... or 1 bite or 1 little piece. Its stupid View Quote |

Ah, 11 brilliant folks did the old, "it has been over 30 minutes and we don't feel anything. Let's take another one." I read about that happening once before in the '70's. Just once though, nobody has ever done it since...

Not saying people don't feel like they need to go to the hospital because of THC, but that as far as I know they don't need to go to the hospital. What would they do for these people in the hospital besides reassure them that they aren't actually in danger? View Quote |

Nothing really. Maybe some mild sedatives or something to take the edge off? If anything a hospital is one of the worst places somebody could go if they got too high off edibles. All the hospital staff can do is tell them about how they're in no danger to reassure them. It's not that hard really. Watch a funny movie or listen to some nice music while in a dim/calm environment View Quote A discount coupon to the hospital cafeteria would be much more effective. "Eat lots of sweets, have the 72 ounce Coke. You'll be down and bummed in no time" |

Dumb kids should stick to booze. Nobody ever ends up in the ER from drinking too much.

I do think it's somewhat stupid how strong they make edibles. They'll make gummy bears where a dose is like 2 gummies. Chocolate bars where somebody is supposed to eat like 1/10 of the bar. Cookies where you're supposed to eat like 1/4 of the cookie. The people selling these should be required to set the dosage to amounts that people would actually eat. View Quote |

I have a friend in Colorado that did that, ate a item and was bitching about not feeling a thing and that it was a waste of money and they got ripped off, ate another one and about a hour later couldn't move lol The friend that was with him started to get worried as he was freaking out, I was in tears when they were telling me the story and called them both dumbasses.

Meh. Millions of teenagers have gone to the hospital after consuming more alcohol than they can handle. This is no different, except that you can actually die from too much alcohol.

The article doesn't really make it clear if they knew what they were consuming and their potency. I can totally see a bunch if high schools kids passing them out unpackaged at a party and surprising the hell out of people... Hell booze is the same thing. At retail stores everything is well labeled along with recommended doses.

When someone like Joe Rogan talks about how strong some edibles are, they're probably pretty strong. Live and learn, I guess. If you go to legal shops in states where it's legal, dosing info is on all the packaging of edibles to help prevent cases like this. But what happened in regards to the news article was just some dumb kid who made gummies that probably had a 90+% THC concentration, which is obviously incredibly strong. It's very easy to extract THC from marijuana with products easily available to anyone. Mix that, with some kid who has no idea how to measure THC levels, and you have what happened in the OP. |

We're these from a legal recreational shop where they are regulated to 10mg per serving or an unregulated medical dispensary where they can be 100mg+ per serving?

With edibles, it'll take maybe up around 45 minutes or so before you begin to feel the first effects. Not a good plan for the impatient! I know a guy that went through some medical problems a few years ago. Guy grew up in the '80's and hit his fair share of reefer back then and quenched the cotton mouth with "Beer" beer. Been around the dipshit block more than once but never got around to having any edibles back in the day. He got his shit together and became a regular Joe, you know with a house and kids and a good job and responsibility and all that shit. So the dude is stuck at home for months and is trying to taper off of all the Rx dope and a buddy we both know and I dropped in on him. The guy I was with dropped him off a small bag of home made brownies for later when we left. Dude told me later he ate one and tripped balls for hours. Next morning, he gets to thinking that was bull shit since he'd already had pain meds so he decides he isn't going to take any pain meds unless he begins hurting bad and instead will just eat a brownie to get a good baseline check on what's actually happening. He ate one while doing some house keeping chores and says he's about a half hour in when he decides he was right, it *was* all bull shit and eats another. Well, as he's cleaning the last of that brownie out of his teeth he says the *first* one hit him all at once. All he could think of was "oh man, I am SOOOOOOO fucked!" and then sat down on the couch with a giant hospital water jug/cup thing and fell asleep in fornt of the xbox for the next 8 or 9 hours |
