Happy 4/20!

You are giving too much credit. I am as pro legalization as they come but this 420 bs is lame. I'm more impressed by people calling strangers to ask if their refrigerator is running so they can go catch it. At least that is clever. That has a pun. 420 is a silly social signal. No one needs to congratulate themselves for smoking something.
Lot of crazy stuff happened around this time. Adolf's B'day, Columbine, Ok City bombing, Titanic sinking, Boston Marathon bombing

Love the idea of legalization, but leery of marijuana edibles. I fear that too many accidental overdoses with edibles might derail the legalization process.
Anyone else a fan of Getting Doug with High?

Had another one just last night in the ER. Someone ate half a brownie and called 911 shortly after. All told, that was probably a $5000 edible. A different ER Doc on and the bill would have been higher because some order head CTs for all "altered level of consciousness." This means drunk or high.
I think that's a temporary phenomenon, though. Used to be that any heroin ingestion which resulted in a 911 call was automatically a transport. Now, with more awareness, more training - and, unfortunately, more heroin - we're actually RMA'ing heroin ingestions - even some which are dispatched as "overdose". I think it's likely we'd see the same thing with edible marijuana ingestion.
Although I do agree with the point that edibles, in general, can be a risky proposition. I suspect not too much time would pass before we started hearing, "My 3 year-old just ate an entire plate of pot brownies."
You're exactly the guy who needs to smoke. Marijuana stimulates areas of the brain associated with empathy.

These are all excellant examples of why not to use.
One is trying to destroy his country, another tried to destroy a part of the world
and the other destroyed the poor girl's blouse.
Yeah, but that last one didn't inhale.Originally posted by NickKnight 1:

Funny you mention heroin. Last night we also had a car roll in with an unresponsive blue-skinned guy in the back seat. Heroin overdose. He was bagged immediately and a couple doses of Narcan brought him right back. Thankfully he lived to shoot up another day (today?).
Also, have seen a few kids get into their parent's stashes. For the most part it turns out the same as with adults but only with police and social services intervention.
Still, seems like one of the most dangerous drugs out there is alcohol. Most of the narcotic addicts are only really bad if they first had family histories of mental health disorders. Meth does wonders with schizophrenics and causes psychotic breaks. Otherwise, please use with moderation.
