edible pot
Forgetting if you are pro or con for pot I have been watching these commercials
on the tube showing edible pot.
To me it looks like an accident looking for a place to happen. How long before some three or four year old gets into someones edible pot.
Looking at the commercials it looks pretty good. If it looks pretty good to an old man just think how good it will look to a elementary school student. Yup bring dads chocolates to school and pass them out.
I give you that most people buying edible pot might be more careful but I have watched too many little kids so I am alarmed with this type of pot.

I don’t think this will be nearly the issue you suspect it is. Edibles have been legal in those US states that legalized pot for ages and their children seem to be fine.

I used to donate to High Times magazine in the 70s to legalize marijuana, since it's been legal I still haven't been in a store when are the Edibles about to become legal.

Edibles are where most of the hospital visit overdoses are coming from.

Well if one is to have edibles in their home with kids they need be responsible parents/guardians or what have you for the security of said edibles.
If children have access to edibles then then there is a problem.

I’m a responsible parent, by not drinking, smoking, or doing drugs. I could never understand the mentality of do what I say, not what I do.

Nobody has re-invented the wheel here.
Edibles like this have been for sale in Canada for years and the most computer illiterate prude, could figure out where and how to order them in under 15 min.
Likely a lot stronger and cheaper than what the government will sell too.

Qualifying as a responsible parent involves much more that being a sanctimonious, holier-than-thou teetotaler.

Any responsible person should go out of their way to keep these out of reach of kids and others, just like any other prescription drug, firearms, etc. Too bad commons sense isn't all that common any more.

Doubt prescription drugs taste that good or look like candies. Hard for a child to tell the difference between a regular candy and a pot candy. Hopefully people are smart enough to try and make them look like something a kid wouldn't like and keep them put away.

I just googled edibles and hospital visits and the most recent new article we March 2019.
So maybe people are getting educated.
Directions are too bloody easy.
Eat a little bit. Wait 1 hour
Not the effect you want eat a little more.
Repeat cycle if necessary until desired effects are reached.
It’s easier for the body to metabolize a bit every hour than all at once.
Either way. The kids/teenagers will always do as kids/teenagers do IMO.

Liquor cabinet is probably pretty accessible, too.

Though for the vast majority they will just get uncomfortably high and unlike doing way too many shots way too fast your not likely to spend time vomiting (pro tip 1$ tequila shots are bad news don’t ask me how I know 😊 ) But if you are the sort to get a side effect like paranoia spending a number of hours cranked up like that will be unpleasant.
The lag time is probably the biggest risk factor(at least for commercial and for homemade add unknown and variable dosing), how long before we hear of someone eating a jelly or two then drive since they feel fine and then have it kick in while they are behind the wheel and they kill someone.

I think it’s a reasonable concern, but the parents need to make sure it’s not available to kids. Just like parents with brownies in their freezers right now need to make sure their kids are old enough to know not to eat them.
