I wonder who paid for this piece of propaganda
Easy solution. Don’t have children 😂
It’s not a parent issue. You can lock up everything and kids are still find a way to get in even if it’s locked and you can’t keep your eyes On 24 hrs. a day you got a job and you got to go to sleep
they say to keep poison away from children and the adult clearly forgot how to be an adult and keep things away from her child.
dat baby high bro
bro went to the moon and back
15 gummies a child ate and no one died. That’s the difference between marijuana and other drugs. You think he would have survived if he ate 15 tylonol capsules? I’m asking because I don’t know, would he have?
Um that’s a panic attack let’s not get mad at weed
I had this problem and I overdose on edibles and it was the worst experience I ever had and felt like i was gonna die
CPS should have investigated this. If it was cocaine, it would have been a different story.
That’s just horrible parenting
So you can OD on weed?
Watch your kid then
You dont think this is all by design…? They knew this would eventually happen smh
From kids accidentally thinking they were real candy and eating them get a clue
Ive been a marijuana user for decades. Why it’s legal to make gummy and other candy type products with THC in them still blows mind. Kids can’t roll a joint, or load a bowl, keep it for adults and stop with the edibles that kids are attracted to, not knowing they arent normal candy. If idiot gun owners can’t keep their kids from accessing them, what do you think is going to happen with edibles? Smh.
HOLY SHITBALLS 🤪 15 !!!! 🤪
"children"
He still alive? Shocking. It’s about as impressive as when the kid ate 150 melatonin gummies because his mom wanted him to go to sleep. Or how about the man that was taking a ridiculous amount of b vitamins. Then there was that story about the woman who took 1,000000 mg of vitamin D for 2 years (total) and had adverse reactions. Thankfully the cannibis didn’t cause any long term damage and he fully recovered. Cannibis is 100% safe (safer than Tylenol to leave in your kids reach) but your baby was probably was probably suffering from temporary neurological disfunction because it was such a shock to his system due to the sudden high dose. I’m so glad he’s ok and seriously after this story I think someone needs to consider that first off to keep edibles away from your children (up high, locked up if you have a very crafty child) and CPS has no place in cases like this.
Just put them in a baby proof bottle like you do with any medication
whats terrrifying is how your child got hold of the gummies on your watch?
If it wasn’t your fault who are we blaming?
Not the pot its the parents .
Yeah you’re fought
I am here to tell my story. My wife took 1 (ONE) gummy of THC0 last Saturday. The label said "to Help to Sleep" – Was her first time trying it. Was 10:30 pm, she start having a sequence of reactions, like epilepsy. Her body was shaking, her heart beat up to 100s (her avg is the 70s), and she lost control of her body, at 11 pm I called 911. They came and took her to the Methodist and over there, they ran lots of fluids and medications through her system. Around 4:15 she woke up. She recovered control over her body to be able to stand up by herself only around 7 hours later. She never smokes, and she drinks avg. 2 glasses of wine /per week. She is not on medications, is 46 years old, super healthy. The documentation from Houston Methodist is stating a "Drug Overdose". Again: 1 single gummy. The bottle says: 900mg / 50mg per gummy – D8 + D10 + THC-0 – The name is "Sticky Green, Mega Mix Gummies – Green Apple – 18ct – Vegan – Please. If you find this product, DON`T TAKE IT. The gummy has a triangle shape. Every person could react differently, in her case, was almost dead. She was saved by the team on Methodist. Thank you.
"Put them up out of reach." Parental responsibility…what a novel idea.💡
If she was black she would be in JAIL‼️‼️‼️
Of course this happens!! Edibles are not a joke! This is what media wants you to believe. At least the mother admitted it was her fault.
Not an overdose
Maybe I shouldn’t leave drugs out 😮😮
This kid made a full recovery they sad….. But i want to know. Is there even one kid that has long term problems? They just got really high, maybe had a pannic attack. And thats it. I mean, yes. Gummy’s are stupid. Just take oil or smoke it. And put that stuff somewere your kids don’t come. But kids don’t make a recovery after being high. They are just very high and then they get somber without a problem…. This is anti cannabis bullcrap!
How dare the adults/parents who try to blame manufacturers for their own idiotic behavior in not placing the drug out of reach of their children. Everyone wants to shift the blame for a lawsuit payout.
I never thought I’d hear the day when someone would overdose on weed!
Arrest the mom don’t blame weed 🤣
You mean greening out 🗿
Had that been a black parent CPS would have removed that child.
omg he ate 15 gummies? i eat 2 and im out o.o poor kid
I felt better when drinking water😊
Uh, it was your fault. Lock them up.
People are so stupid you can’t overdose on weed😂😂😂😂
I almost dies yesterday off gummies, I took the gummies Friday and woke up Sunday
"Overdosed"
I ate a half a thc gummy 2 days ago at night before I went to bed. I woke up feeling barely alive. It didn’t help me sleep like it was suggested it would do, it made me feel super nauseated, like I couldn’t breathe properly, felt very weak in the morning, lack of focus, slurred speech, feeling like I would pass out on my feet. Can’t imagine a kid eating 15 of them. Crazy.
This is only the beginning. People need to get ready. Everyone wanted it to be fully legalized
What a happy woman I am now being free from HSV Is a great testimony for me all thanks to Dr IGUDIA on YouTube for curing me from HSV only by using his products which he sent to me
woooooooo 15 gummies god dayum he was on 🪐
They should discontinue thc from children’s, no wonder, they are out of control everywhere plus violence. Disrespectful to adult knocking doors, running away breaking windows,
Looking for arguments, with adults seniors.
You can’t od on cannabis, that is physically impossible. At most, it’ll just make the consumer feel off because of the affects it has on the brain, but even that isn’t dangerous.
i’ve ate edible plenty of times. it’s not a marijuana problem….it’s irresponsibility
Keep a better eye out
