    You are kinda slow son, anybody on my lawn was trespassing long before they got to the lawn.

    But you did get a little bit, a good beer has a nice aroma compared to some weed.

    yeah..I have to agree with you about protecting children. Treat it the same as alcohol. As much as I despise the industry that government has become, I feel it needs to be brought out into the open. Any commercial grow should be taxed the same as any other business.

    I know for a fact anti-tobacco state programs are also anti-marijuana smoking.

    I mean, who the hell is advocating selling it to kids? Seems kind of strawman-ish

    No one is advocating for it. The issue is now that it's so available, the kids can access it easily. The kids in CO that are overdosing on edibles took it from their parents and/or grandparents and then distributed it in school.

    I know you don't give a shit what I say, but, I'll care more about all of your allegations about how bad it is and all of the horrors going on when you back them up.

    We are seeing more symptoms because some of these products have very high amounts of marijuana in them," Wang said. "You get such a high dose on such a small child, the symptoms are more severe."

    As with many similar poisonings, treatment is limited to supportive care and waiting until the marijuana clears the system, he said.

    Children recover quickly in most cases, Wang said. "They don't need more than a day or two of hospitalization," he said. "There were no deaths or lasting side effects."

    worst case scenario, shall we look at what alcohol provides for stats? Or how about glue? Paint? Do you remember when kids ate jipson seeds? Sucked the contents off whip cream cans..bud there are hundreds of ways to abuse anything.

    Really Maxie, I am not being glib.

    I love when the problem becomes the object, and not the fact that these parents didn't raise their little shits not to take things that aren't theirs....well they didn't die from ODing on weed, but I hope they learned a valuable lesson that even as an adolescent you are still required to be a respectful member of society.

    I definitely see the danger though. Taking too much of a cheeba chew will really mess you up. You see the same with guns and alcohol though. Do you blame either of them when a kid steals it from their parent?

    Agreed. My point is that small kids generally don't like tequila shots, but do like chocolate chip cookies that are made with THC oil.

    I'm assuming kids have never heard of Baileys? Tuaca? Buttershots? Peppermint Schnapps?

    My wife's liquor cabinet when she was my girlfriend was basically candy flavored alcohol.

    The parents are definitely responsible in all cases. There was a lock on the bar cabinet when I was growing up. Guns were kept in the gun safe.

    However, try selling a bottle of booze or a Glock at school. It's pretty obvious. Selling a pot brownie? That's not something teachers or administrators can monitor until it's too late.
