I think a lot more research needs to be done on how THC effects a person when eaten.

What's the difference between this and a drunk doing the same?

This is all that needs to be said.

Furthermore, it is all but impossible to overdose on marijuana, yet nearly 700 people a year overdose on aspirin.

My biggest issue with the arguments against legalizing it is the hypocrisy with respect to other legal drugs.

It's just how real edibles are. Gotta take nibbles.

Taking a big bite would be like chugging moonshine.

Body buzz is way more intense... Guess I'm old school. I never cared for edibles.

I would not go down that road with BoT. IIRC, he believes most booze should be outlawed.

Nothing at all. I just think more research needs to be done about THC being ingested. Most research has been done about smoking, not eating.

Everything in life comes with risk. Nobody smart is denying marijuana doesn't incur any risk. The risk is not significant, especially when compared with legal substances like beer and tobacco.

Beg to differ. Most people, pretty much ALL people, can drink a beer or smoke a cig & not run the risk of swan diving off a balcony.

At least he didnt DWI

Legalize all drugs..let Momma Nature sort em out.

Do we want to compare # of accidents on weed to accidents on alcohol?

Do we want to compare tobacco's death count?

Most people high on weed don't swan dive off of balconys either. This is just one story. And drunks have done this before as well, but it's not an everyday occurence. For that matter, completely sober people have taken swan dives off of balconys as well. Perhaps the real threat is balconys. We should start a petition to outlaw balconys.

Yea go ahead. I've never known a person who smokes weed that JUST SMOKES WEED.

I'm going out on a limb and saying that your circle of friends is kinda limited then.

There's going to be many more deaths caused by alcohol and tobacco (over a long period of time) because many more people use them.

If you're talking per person then I would love to hear the statistics.
