Sounds like propaganda, or maybe a psa from warehouse growers using avid and eagle.

Well...I think that it is important to report it here, even if it is a load of tosh/bollocks mate.

Then at least we can disseminate the current tactics of the prohibitionists.

def od'ing on edibles, seen it over a dozen times since legal cannabis started.
and it's not screaming thats over exaggeration for sure, but the sound of the barfing can be said to sound like it.

stupid n00bs eating to much pot food
pesticides honestly imo not a chance Gyp. edible od for sure.

IMO...it is evidence that: sum of the parts is greater than the whole.

Let me explain, most of us know that cannabis is an accumulator and is used in remediation of soil containing heavy metals (remember Chernobyl?). As the plant accumulates, one has to ask--"where does this stuff go?"...hmmm, pockets within the plant tissues is one answer.

And as these pockets of "accumulation" are mixed with other goodies, say Neem (aka azadirachta) what happens? We don't know. Now throw in all the "cides" that are "systemic" (active ingredient stays within the plant) and the cides with "translocation" properties (movement of active ingredient from leaves to other plant parts)...what happens?

I submit that maybe, maybe...when we expect to see "1 + 2 = 3", the actual formula is more like: 1 + 2 + v = 4 (the missing variable that includes accumulation, systemic, and translocation activities).

Some people can eat peanuts, others eat one peanut and they almost die...some people can drink all the milk they want, others are lactose intolerant...some people can eat shellfish, others eat one shrimp and their face balloons up. So just because it does not happen to "me", it does not mean it won't happen to "you".

That actually makes a lot of sense Doc.

i bet this is to do with all the concentrates being used, we know that making oil is often a choice for less then perfect crops, we know concentrating the active ingredient is also concentrating any heavy metals, pesticides, fungicides that were used in the growing of said flowers. so just maybe this concentration of contaminates is causing this problem.

overdosing on edibles or smoke, leads to vomiting, maybe hours and hours of sitting next to the bog, but i never saw anyone screaming as a result. mostly they have a white face with sweat running down it while they tell you i'm ok between bouts of more vomit, till it finaly stops and then they go lie down to wake up fine.

I'd like to imagine it's to throw a

"REEFER MADNESS"

Blanket over the whole mj industry

The powers that be can't be happy that all the reports of tumors shrinking and the rest of the medicinal benefits that are being reported daily across the globe

One would like to imagine that it's just big pharma fluffing the financial pillows

But then again it might be time for a tolerance break

I wonder what the incidence rate is with this, I’ve seen a few reports about it here and there. It may be real and of course the anti’s will try to make more of it than may be. As DocTim mentions, there are issues with certain things with certain people.

Not sure if it’s something to get overly alarmed about though, more info/research is needed. I remember one report of a girl complaining of the symptoms, went to the hospital numerous times. They told her it may be the pot use causing it but she continued to use anyway.

One thing that kills me is the advertising done with prescription drugs and all the disclaimers. A relatively new one is “don’t take X if you are allergic to X”. Now how the hell are you going to know if you are allergic to a branded prescription drug?
