But apparently there is some risk associated with eating too many of these edibles and the result being what looks to be a psychotic episode

that's a bit of a reach

the key piece of evidence is unavailable, due to death

Geeze, some of you stoners are too fricking sensitive to anything negative about pot.

the policy discussion is littered with negative assumptions, mistruths, and outright lies

the OP of this thread was not exactly fair. if you don't want reactions, craft the discussion in a neutral manner

That's bullshite. I'm on record here on the OT as being pro-legalization. But apparently there is some risk associated with eating too many of these edibles and the result being what looks to be a psychotic episode. Geeze, some of you stoners are too fricking sensitive to anything negative about pot.

I've said many times that if something gets legal pot shut down it will be edibles because people are to stupid to read labels and heed warnings. My brother works in a pot shop and they go out of there way to warn people on the delayed effects. I also think it's impossible for someone not to see the warning label on the child resistant container the edibles come in. It's very easy to see the warning.

What happens is people like this don't listen to the multiple warnings, eat to much and then it hits them hard two hours later and they have a panic attack. A panic attack will never kill you, your body won't shut down.

His family is shitty for leaving someone in obvious distress alone. The kid Made a mistake by not listening to the multiple warnings he received and his parents are looking for someone to blame for a senseless loss.

If you took a whole bottle of just about any OTC or prescription product you pick up at your local friendly Walgreens you could expect the same result. Difference is the pot didn't kill him or put his body into liver failure like Tylenol would.

Him having a panic attack, easy access to a weapon, and nobody to look after him killed him.
