Marijuana poisoning!

Oh please. What a crock of shit.

There is no such thing as "marijuana poisoning".

This is a case of parents freaking out and ignorantly taking their kids to the hospital.

They must have been pretty good cookies. 😀

"See Jimmy, SEE?! This is what happens when you eat Daddy's cookies! You go to THE HOSPITAL!!"

Jimmy: NOOOOOOOOOO!
 
That's not even close to being true. 🙄

It takes awhile to work but eating a good amount of decent grade pot will get you a huge "body" high, I think the case here was that the teens were freaking out and getting paranoid as they didn't know WTF was happening to them. It's still messed up to do that to someone though IMO..
 
a doper that claims it can do no harm is a fool. anything can do you harm if abused or done in excess / without knowing wtf you're doing. except for chicken wings
As a side note many pot smokers insist it makes them more healthy.

Embrace the healing power of chicken wings.



btw-the only thing I've ever eaten was some hash a long time ago. Eating it is a totally different buzz very slightly mescaline like especially along the lines of the slight stomach cramp that any hallucinogen will give you.

People are far too loose with their shit, be it household chemicals, power tools, alcohol, firearms, you name it.
 
in pharmacy school we had a 2hr lecture on marijuana and it's effects. we all thought the professor was a hippie love child stuck in the 60's. He even printed the handouts in green ink. One of highlight classes in pharm school because all my friends went to the lecture baked.

All I remember was that marijuana is neuroprotective and saying THC has no ill effects.
 
What some are saying about "hallucinogenic" effects is true. It can happen, if your tolerance is really low.

I quit smoking for like a year once. The first hit I had after that blew my mind. I thought I had just eaten a bunch of mushrooms. It can definitely be pretty intense, and it's no surprise the kids threw up.

Ironically enough, I have never experienced full-on hallucinations with either mushrooms or LSD. Not that I would ever do such evil, evil things. :sneaky:

dude you baked now? You can't say you did something and then "not really" in the next sentence.

I hope your finances are finally in order if you are so pro-drugs.

Why wouldn't I be pro-drug? I eat granola. This is a surprise? 😛

My finances have nothing to do with anything. I have always been good at managing money, but that becomes difficult when you lose your job.. lol. We're still working through things. I just got my full credit report pulled, and will begin dealing with items on an individual basis soon. It's actually not as bad as I thought it would be. 🙂

LOL. random troll comment FTLulz. alkie, you are one funny son of a bitch with your internet routine 😀
 
Uhhh yes it is, for the 1st time a few months ago I ate some Rice Crispy Treats from a dispensary. I was 10 times higher then I've ever been in my life and damn near tripping balls. The high was nothing like any smoking high I'd ever had.

Have you actually ever "tripped balls?" I've had extremely potent brownies and the effect is nothing like lsd or mushrooms.

And anyone who thinks that marijuana has a lethal or long-term harmful dose is an ignorant moron.

Chronic abuse = inadvertent ingestion.

The parents should have just ordered pizza and told the kids that everything would be fine once they stuffed their faces and finished watching some movies.

Correct me if I am mistaken, but isn't Orange County one of the most Republican, Conservative counties in California?
 
I imagine anyone might "think" they were sick if they suddenly got high without knowing the cause...

You gotta realize that it's not going to be like the movies where someone eats a brownie and gets all happy and delirious. I would get seriously worried if I just felt high and didn't know why. I might even get so worried that I cause a whole lot of other symptoms unrelated to marijuana just through mental distress. A lot of the ability to enjoy being high comes from being mentally prepared to be high.

It can also cause memory loss....
