A 7-year-old Basalt girl accidentally ingested candy that was infused with edible marijuana Sunday and was taken to Valley View Hospital for treatment, according to police.

The girl’s mother is a maid at an Aspen hotel where there is a policy that food and beverages left behind in rooms can be taken home by the cleaning staff, according to Basalt Police Chief Greg Knott. The woman found a bag of nuts that also contained a chocolate ball the size of a large marble, he said.

That sounds like a really, really, really bad policy.

We really need to control marijuana and other substances, they are dangerous in many ways.

Oh, wait a minute....

That family should be forced to give up all their pot edibles. They can send it all to me for disposal.

They see nothing wrong with this.

Not as much as you see nothing wrong with legalized alcohol. And you don't, do you? Yet the deaths of children legalized alcohol cause, and the money it costs, are staggering.

But when faced with these horrible facts, repeated year after decade after century, you hyper-alcohol-protecting conservo-libertarians are just thrilled.

And why? Because you see nothing wrong with it.

Strange. I would assume that nothing could hurt her if she's made of basalt.

Yes. And legalized marijuana products are extremely expensive in CO, although tourists with big government-derived incomes don't seem to mind the prices.

Thank God it wasn't tylenol or aspirin! Or any other drug on the planet!

You can literally die from drinking 2-3 gallons of plain old water! Not so with cannabis.

The only people that hate cannabis are people that have never tried it, or that own stock in pharmas and petro chems, or just plain ole like to enslave the darkies!

It was designed for us by the One that designed us! You got a problem? Take it up with the Maker!

You’re more than welcome, and I’m sorry about your brother. Many of us have lost friends and relatives because of drug addictions.

That was my thought as well. Do you suppose she was a descendant of Lot?
