Wow, its pretty sad and pathetic lookin at all the comments on that story. All those misinformed people talkin about weed killin brain cells and people sayin "good give those stoners the ten years" an that such stuff. So many people still stuck in the stone age. We all know he was jus groggy from bein stoned, he wasnt gonna OD an die like all those idiots are claiming. The parents at least took him to the hospital out of concern knowing they were gonna get in trouble.

Bad PR for cannabis, but we all know its a good thing cannabis is what he consumed and not a harmful drug. I really wonder what the doctors would even do? I could see the doc checking vitals, then testing for poisons, then they find its cannabis. "Oh, nurse role in the Playstation cart, lets let the kid play it off." Ha who knows. I applaud them for taking him in because of the symptoms he was showing, but its too bad they didn't know it was cannabis right away, all involved would have been better off without the hospital trip and now legal implications, terrible if a kid loses their parents for 10 yrs for that. I'm sure I am preaching to the choir on this, but put all your edibles in sealed bags labeled(to also protect unsuspecting adults) and stored out of reach of kids! Those comments on that site make me sick. Really sad some of the views people have towards cannabis.

bad parenting/accidental,its bad enough when your dog eats it
and you think its over done it this time.

10 years would be a bit harsh though,what about all the kids
that drink bleach and house hold products every year?
do they get threatned with such harshness?

Never should have taken the kid to the hospital, I mean really, what did they think they were going to do? They can't "un high" the kid, he just has to ride it out.

All the hospital did was call the cops, great, now you will lose your kid, and possibly get jail time, should have stayed at home and let the kid take a nap and sleep it off.

You know, I was thinking, do parents get charged with child abuse and face ten years in jail if the kid gets into the liquor cabinet? Liquor can kill him too, weed can't.

I'll bet there would be no charges or story if the kid had drank a bunch of wine and got sick.

Well the fact that it was in Idaho says alot...they are very conservative in that state.

What fools to go to the hospital. It sounds like maybe it wasn't their kid though. Maybe they went there instead of having to break the news to the parents. Or maybe they just found the kid all drugged-looking and went straight there without realizing what had happened. Then after the doctors ran a test the police were involved. What a nightmare.

The guy's not home.

The girl's passed out.

4 year old is running around unsupervised and eats their stash.

Just because they're potheads everybody is defending them?

Some people are severely retarded, even without the bud.......
