There is the possibility of overdose today.

Not even possible unless there is a comorbidity involved and even then it would possibly be beneficial depending on the co-dity.

I'm using covid term there.

You are a lot more likely to overdose on weed edibles because it’s difficult to determine the exact dosing.”

I did read an article sometime ago about someone buying a cannabis brownie at one of the medical marijuana shops.

They took it home read the dose suggestion and followed the suggestion.

However, they did not experience the effect expected. So, they ate the entire brownie and had to be hospitalized.

Edibles have a much slower effect. Most people don’t seem to understand that.

My self-included, I have never had one.

Read the linked article. We’re not talking fatal overdose but need for medical attention.

It never would have been made illegal in the first place.

I am 75 years old and was diagnosed with an essential or familial tremor 20- years ago. It’s a progressive disorder and mine has progressed to the point where I can barely feed myself. Watching me eat is not a pretty sight to behold.

I’ve tried CBD oil, no effect whatsoever. Got some marijuana from my nephew and smoked enough to make me high as a kite, not the result I was looking for.

Is there a medical name/grade that I can provide my doctor with that could possibly help me? Whether she would write a prescription for it is another question. I live in Illinois, it’s legal here.

Not gonna tell me to F off and call me horrible names. You don’t seem to have a problem doing that in private email? And now you are interested in helping my wife and kids?

You really are a piece of work.

You are a horrible person trying to come across as “nice.” You really should be ashamed of yourself.

“What would a marijuana “overdose” look like?”

You feel like you are going to die. You even want to die.

Then nothing happens.

Essential tremor is hell, as I can attest.

Propranolol or alcohol seems to work in a pinch.

If you find out a cannabis solution, please let me know. I’m to the point I can’t sign my own name.

The other half have turned pro? Americans are a resolute, self-sufficient lot, are they not?

The male plants are killed because they will pollinate the female plants—and all of the the plant’s resources are turned to producing seeds.

And anyone who has cleaned pot on a Dark Side of the Moon album cover knows that you do not want seeds in your pot.

Keeping the “boys” away from the girls produces biggest, better buds. And that seems like an allegory for life.

Home grown today is very different from that of our youth. You can grow very, very potent stuff in your garage. In addition, you can buy seeds that are high in CBD/Low THC which can be used to creating oils.

The CBD stuff is what a lot of people are turning to now, whereas the high THC is what gets you “high.”

The cartels make money in the same way that the mob used to make by selling Cigarettes without tax stamps.

Will do.

My sister wants me to try pot, but I’m leery. She says there are all kinds now days, all with different compounds in them leading to different effects.

Her daughter works at a dispensary.

She has a type that works for her arthritis. Or, rather HELPS with it.

Watch for these governments to begin a pullback on growing.

Presently, most recreational states allow growth of up to 5 plants. Once more folks become gardeners, the state looses tax revenue — and with pot taxes, that’s a lot. And it’s not an incredibly difficult plant to cultivate.

Imagine a state like California allowing such an unregulated, un-taxed market.

“Imagine a state like California allowing such an unregulated, un-taxed market.”

The legal dope growers and sellers will pressure government to crush the home growers.

I can imagine bicycle cops cruising neighborhoods sniffing for pot.

But if they can’t see it from the street, how do they prosecute a zoning infraction?
