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
The problem is that people are disregarding the standards and thinking they can handle stuff they can't.  Treating THC edibles like regular snacks would be really stupid, but there's no indication that happened here.

Yup.  

I don't know the details of the story other than what was mentioned in the linked article, nor do I know the drug usage history of each teenager who ingested the laced gummy bears.  But let's assume for a minute none of these teenagers had ever done drugs before.  Then they eat something that very unexpectedly fucks them up - wouldn't you be calling the medics if that happened to you?

But I see our resident potheads could give two shits less about anyone else's well-being, as usual.  Because it's all about legalizing weed and all other concerns are secondary.

So you're assuming no prior drug use and they accidentally ate the gummy bears?  Sure, in that very far-fetched case it would be terrible.  

Pretty sure the reality is that they just ate too much, just like teenagers sometimes drink too much booze.

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

I do actually agree that edibles need more regulation.  Edibles are not to be confused with standard cannabis usage.  They have a delayed onset and the potency is exponentially higher than smoked/vaped cannabis.  It's basically a recipe for disaster when inexperienced people try edibles.

FWIW I think the prices tend to reflect the potency.  Higher potency is simply going to cost more.  While my sister was fighting cancer she got a candy bar - about the size of a Snickers bar - comprised of three small pieces.  Each piece was a good dose.  Now while you or I might be tempted to think in terms of eating the whole bar at one time, it was a $60 candy bar, or about $20 per piece.  Thats about the same cost as 1/8 oz. of very potent high quality weed.

In this case, "they" who made the gummies was most likely one of their friends, as marijuana is not legal medically or recreationally in Indiana, where this happened.

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.

Well that's only if you're a newb and have way too much.  Taking an appropriate amount responsibly will not result in uncontrollable paranoia.  What these dumb kids did was probably the equivalent of a teenager drinking 15+ shots in one go, and that certainly will result in unpleasant effects.  The difference of course is that mj won't KILL you if you have too much.

With 10 beers you're already feeling it and that extra shot is going to hit you in like a minute tops.

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
