... When the young men got back to Keystone, Fowler said they began ingesting the edible pot. He said his cousin favored some peach tart candies, each piece of candy containing 10 mg of the active ingredient in marijuana, the recommended dose for an adult consuming an edible.
But when Goodman consumed several and experienced no immediate effects he kept gobbling them up.
“Luke popped two simultaneously” after the first two didn’t seem to do anything, said Fowler.
Then he said Goodman took a fifth candy, five times the recommended dose. His mother says her son likely didn’t see the warning on the back of the container which says, “The intoxicating effects of this product may be delayed by two or more hours … the standardized serving size for this product includes no more than 10 mg.”
Several hours later Fowler said his cousin became “jittery” then incoherent and talking nonsensically.
“He would make eye contact with us but didn’t see us, didn’t recognize our presence almost. He had never got close to this point, I had never seen him like this,” Fowler said.
Fowler says Goodman became “pretty weird and relatively incoherent. It was almost like something else was speaking through him.”
When family members left the condo Goodman refused to join them. After they left he got a handgun that he typically traveled with for protection, and turned it on himself.

Count down until someone defends their precious marijuana.
But MJ is no more harmful than drinking alcohol.
He’d be alive today but for the handgun.
Marijuana’s first casualty
Reminds me of the college student who swallowed a whole bottle of caffeine pills while cramming for exams. He also shot himself a short time later.
Used as directed, he probably wouldn’t have gotten so intoxicated. Every year or so I read about a college freshman or two who try to guzzle a fifth of tequila with fatal results. Its possible to overdose on anything.
My personal policy is to use nothing stronger than black coffee. I recommend it.
He used the gun to perforate his expanded consciousness.
One quibble...this wasn’t an overdose death...the dummy who can’t read shot himself.
Drink a couple of liters by yourself and get back to us.
It’s been a while since one died of drinking too much water, but it’s happened.
Don’t know where you stand on instant coffee, but I’ve gotten seriously wired on it.

The liberal pot heads will say it wasn’t the pot but the gun that killed the guy....
The guy killed the guy....
Why that can't possibly be true. "Conflating Freedom" is constantly telling us that Marijuana is safer than Alcohol.
I ain’t buying it... there is more than meets the eye here, maybe someday we will get the rest of the story.
"It tastes just like pop/soda! Better keep drinking".
Everyone has a Mad Dog story.....
Or the pot. When handguns aren't available, roofs will do.
Surprised that troll isn’t here already with his 3 question schtick.
Not at all. I know of two other incidents resulting in death just off the top of my head.
