Colorado has a problem

As usual, unintended consequences happen, when new and different ideas/laws are rolled out. It seems there have been two deaths linked to 'edible' marijuana. The first was a Congolese exchange student who ate over 6 times the recommended 'maximum dosage', and fell or jumped to his death from a hotel balcony. Recently, a man shot his wife, while she was speaking with the 911 operator, saying her husband was halucinating and acting strangely. She was on the phone for 13 minutes, which seems like negligence on someone's part. He consumed TEN times the max dosage, in addition to pain killers and possibly alcohol. Not sure what needs to be done, but this could be a big, longterm problem, cuz 'edibles' take a couple hours to act, and rookies think nothing is happening so they eat more. It wouldn't bother me, at all, if edibles were banned, at least until more research is done. In the meantime, I'm sure Colorado's new law is gonna get a bunch of negative publicity, cuz some idiots are overdosing and mixing other drugs. As always, you can't protect everyone from their own stupidity.

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store
