Nine times out of 10 those people were told even if in the most simplest terms “be careful only eat a little bit of these they’re very strong“ dispensaries often have instructions and often required to let people know the strength and what kind of smoker they are cause that depends on how strong the edible is going to be to you or not you see I know you don’t know nothing about this you’re reading a few little paper there and I don’t like it you have no real experience on the topic it seems. But every story of an edible I’ve heard I’ve never heard a single person not be told don’t eat the whole thing they were always told to only eat a little bit so what is happening in the story and a lot of stories and I’ve been in a hospital with or where there were people were in there suffering because they ate the entire fucking edible after they most likely were told not to it sucks but they were fine I myself have accidentally gotten too high off of flour and made myself sick yeah I felt like shit for about an hour or two maybe three and then after that I was fine and I went back and smoke some more it was nothing but the I am a heavy smoker of cannabis I lightweight could never do that because the more you smokeThe higher your tolerance becomes but you would know anything about that. You wouldn’t even Google or at least look up information on it to see what it’s like from people who actually do it and use Cannabis just so you don’t look like and sound like when I was all political idiots in Washington we’re still against Candace it’s not that you’re playing devils advocate those are your viewpoints. It’s on my education for parents first of all you’re speaking of college kids that means these are grown adults yeah parents are gonna be inviting worry about the kids but you’re talking about grown adults get pants really artifact or don’t need to be considered in this scenario at all so you’re talking about the education of the people who are taking the edibles not educating parents because minors aren’t allowed to have cannabis anyway so they’re not even going to be put in this discussion.
every single person who has a "Bad experience" with edibles is because they eat too much, remember small nibbles, you arnt a pussy for taking tiny bites when your friends are mowing the down the bag, because you will be nice and relaxed enjoying yourself while your friends are in the fetal position, sweating and begging you to call 911 because they think they are dying, dont be that guy, be responsible, small nibbles, see how you feel for 1 hour, then small nibbles, see how you feel for 1 hour, it doesnt take much and it takes a while to kick in, be patient
It’s funny the guy in New Mexico or Mexico the light-skinned bald guy said that you actually don’t drive better with weed because Colorado the state that he wants to pull a study from did a study on the results of that question he referenced “most wee wee users feel that Cannabis doesn’t impair their driving skills at all“ Colorado also did for the study investigation today and find found out they’ve had a 40% reduction in driver related accidents tickets due to ever since they legalize weed in their state as well as showing supporting evidence that cannabis users who drive get in far less if any accidents or speeding tickets at all that same study so if you got a quote a study quote all the study you frequently like to use studies and information that you think regular people don’t know about well I know about that exact study because I read the entire thing if you wanna quote study quote the entire thing don’t mislead people by only saying a certain words here or there or a phrases from the study study without full context.
I think people need to put worries, and focus on other drugs than cannabis, I rather have my child consume cannabis than anything else out there on the street including alcohol and tobacco, cannabis is a beneficial medicine and its not a opinion its a fact
Keep in mind these instances are only new to y’all because the black market is the black market for a reason ain’t nobody supposed to know about it even though everybody knows it exists, like area 51. Now that there is a legal sector of weed a person who gets too hot off we can go into a hospital and not be worried about being reported to the authorities in jail because of state and federal laws if they get too hot I need some help. And so legally being able to do this these stories make it to the news but the stories are not new they’re not new new uses a cannabis always get way too high when they first start using it
They need to make it legal and stop all this stupied crape its not a gate way drug its a healing drug they just say that to scear ppl the government wonts to control everything and everyone thats what it is all about if they would pass it it would generate alote of income for the ppl and the comunty all threw the u.s.
Everyone needs to watch the documentary " The Culture High" Especially all the politicians

First of all is the reverse and that’s how we know that black guy doesn’t know shit about weed. Legally in most states most dispensaries are not allowed to grow anything beyond 20% maybe 25% THC at the most for flour and nothing higher than 90 to 95% THC as far as going into the carts and distillate and all that other shit. Street weed as you call it or shatter or concentrate is 100% or more straight weed is way way stronger than anything they could ever produce in those legal dispensaries right no. And I know because I’ve been growing weed for five years I’ve been a master gardener for 30 years and I’ve been smoking weed since I’ve been 26 and I am now fourth so I know for a fact the shit you get in the streets is way stronger because the black market has been growing it for decades for decades they know this plant and what works and what doesn’t there have been studies done on weight increases THC levels but we didn’t need to study it and don’t take much common sense if you happen to smoke some weed it comes from an Appalachian mountains in the smoky regulator comes from where you are the mountain weed is stronger because it’s closer to the sun we don’t need no fancy lad to figure that shit out we know this plant better than you could ever imagine or not I should always way stronger and way better
The negative stigma is a product of demonization of Cannabis for the past 50 years. Originally it was banned to incarcerate political dissenters in the Nixon Presidency. He went against his own medical boards recommendation and criminalized it to hurt the groups who spoke out against the Vietnam War. The hinderance of freedom has caused irreparable harm to countless families who lost income do to criminal records because of this corrupt policy decision which went against our ideals of pursuit of happiness. Where freedom is hindered, human suffering fills the gap.
And I like the lady so I’ll be nice street weed as you guys call it or as everyone else in the news in Citi closet Black market Cannabis is the proper terminate knowledge for it oh it does that to people and even way worse you guys really need to do more research from people actually use cannabis your knowledge of it is lacking which is putting holes in your argument that are easily torn down. But I digress, this happens all the time but street weed too and we worse because street weed or black market weed is incredibly way stronger trying to tell you there’s labsAnd I mean $50-$100,000 labs that people have said a contest their own weed that they grow and no they’re not a legal dispensary whatever you guys are doing whatever they’re getting now if we’ve already had this we have black market scientist who have done studies on this shit we know more about the plant and y’all know y’all are gonna have to figure out we already we already know. Stop saying dispensary weed is dog is not cause Michigan dispensary weed. Whether medical or recreational isn’t allowed to be stronger than 20% THC. So in most states follow the guidelines you’re going based off of the reactionNews articles you read instead of having actual knowledge from people who actually use cannabis and have been for years decades or new. Newbies always fuck themselves up on Cannabis it’s like with alcohol when you’re 19 do you get blackout drunk and vomit a lot by the time in your 30s and 40s they don’t happen no more because you know better Cannabis is no different. When you start smoking cannabis it feels great you wanna do it all the time you smoke too much and then you end up making yourself sick by the time you get some experience with it you know how to patient self and you know what your tolerance is it’s no different than alcohol
Actually since you’re missing the studies in Washington that they have done on it I mean studies in Colorado as you mentioned they have done studies on it and there’s even documentaries on it they in Colorado I see in upsurges in black market weed because now that it is state legal there are only certain penalties for being caught doing it without a state license in most states and if you’re a huge cannabis grow operation you’ll just pay the fine and continue growing and that’s what actually happened in Colorado which is why the bigger places for it to be legalized then you can solve that problem very easily and it’s not a problem no more. There’s an entire video on YouTube about it. I’m surprised you guys are authorities on this topic but you have no real knowledge. That study in Colorado and information coming out lawn Forssman has stepped up the legalization of weed has increased with the black market is doing not decreased and because most states have incredibly high taxes on the legal weed most businesses aren’t even making a profit and often selling to the black market to make money so they can keep running their legal weed business because of the high taxes which creeps right back into why Colorado seen an uptick in illegal Black. Black market activity. So legal weed there’s nothing you can do when you make it illegal or legal it still works out for us in the black market it still works out it doesn’t matter. Because remember we got decades worth of knowledge information in our own lab testing that have been done that and documented we know more about the plant then y’all do y’all start at the beginning we are not so there’s nothing you can do to diminish the Black market you can even include it in which that’s why the legal market doesn’t want to because they know that the Legal market has a huge huge upstart and way more money in this industry and they will have and they will not be in concern And cannabis market in the black market industry are healed and led by black and brown people of African and Mexican descent white people and other races grow it to actually do all over the world but as far as United States is concerned the big boys in the candidates night Mark industries are the ones with Brown and his skin and everybody knows it
