I'm posting about this tragic story-
http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_25593871/observatory-park-man-charged-wifes-murder-pot-shop
We really don't know this guy's mental health up front or level of experience wrt edibles, and the fact that he "may" have knocked down some painkillers at the same time complicates things, of course. We've had a couple of other fatalities associated with multiple dose edibles, as well. People freak out.
The candy bar in question contains 100mg of THC, and is obviously not intended to be eaten more than a bite per session, something the guy may or may not have known. We don't know how much of it he ate, either, but if it was the whole thing, he'd have been flying, to say the least.
The upshot is that there have been increasing demands for single serving packaging exclusively, and that each contain no more than 10mg. They also want edibles to be embossed w/ easily identifiable symbols directly on the edible to prevent accidental ingestion.
All of this legal retail MJ is brand new, beyond our personal & cultural experience, so it's hard to tell what's reasonable & what's not over things like this.
Played up in the Media, too much of this stuff threatens legalized marijuana entirely, not to mention the terrifying experiences of over-indulging with edibles.
What say our members? Is the idea of limiting edibles to recommended single serving strength packaging reasonable? Embossing edibles w/ an easily recognized symbol?
I'm not quite sure how I feel about it, other than badly for people who end up on the wrong end of it.
