Why should my opinion control the actions of others? I answered your question, you just don't understand.

I understand the point you are trying to make and no you didn't answer, I asked are you anti mj or anti legalisation it's a simple yes or no.

DENVER — Five months after Colorado became the first state to allow recreational marijuana sales, the battle over legalization is still raging.

Law enforcement officers in Colorado and neighboring states, emergency room doctors and legalization opponents increasingly are highlighting a series of recent problems as cautionary lessons for other states flirting with loosening marijuana laws.

There is the Denver man who, hours after buying a package of marijuana-infused Karma Kandy from one of Colorado’s new recreational marijuana shops, began raving about the end of the world and then pulled a handgun from the family safe and killed his wife, the authorities say. Some hospital officials say they are treating growing numbers of children and adults sickened by potent doses of edible marijuana. Sheriffs in neighboring states complain about stoned drivers streaming out of Colorado and through their towns.

“I think, by any measure, the experience of Colorado has not been a good one unless you’re in the marijuana business,” said Kevin A. Sabet, executive director of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, which opposes legalization. “We’ve seen lives damaged. We’ve seen deaths directly attributed to marijuana legalization. We’ve seen marijuana slipping through Colorado’s borders. We’ve seen marijuana getting into the hands of kids.”

There will always be bumps in the road with any new venture...a few more months down the road and things will settle down .

Your wants are not on my list of "to do". Sorry. Figure it out, or not. It's pretty simple. Unless you're too stoned, that is. ;)

I'm not stoned, I haven't had anything in a month or so and I don't drink.
You're right it is pretty simple and I'm confident I have figured it out but was just asking for a specific answer.
You don't want to do that, it's fine.

I can only assume that you have access to some numerical data that definitively states the probability that this is more likely to occur with the consumption of mj?

Care to post a link to the study?

For someone railing against the evil weed, you sure have a peculiar short-term memory.
Do you smoke Snickers bars and skittles?

In case you can't remember how to get back to the beginning:

Medibles are no joke, and the fact some people should not be using them is the moral. Just like obese people should not be given that "tiny, thin mint wafer" after their meal at fine-dining establishments.
We all know what happens then...

My first time with a "medible" was about an ounce. I got fucked up real good. After about two hours I went to lie down in the middle of the room. For over 20 minutes I went to a magical land. That guy's a major pussy and should've just put a shotgun in his mouth while listening to Marilyn Manson' Reflecting God.

Weed is the best gift the Lemurians left us.

Smoked, ingested, rubbed on the skin; it's all the same.

Quote from Lysander Spooner


"Vices are those acts by which a man harms himself or his property. Crimes are those acts by which one man harms the person or property of another. Vices are simply the errors which a man makes in his search after his own happiness. Unlike crimes, they imply no malice toward others, and no interference with their persons or property. In vices, the very essence of crime—that is, the design to injure the person or property of another—is wanting. It is a maxim of the law that there can be no crime without criminal intent; that is, without the intent to invade the person or property of another. But no one ever practices a vice with any such criminal intent. He practices his vice for his own happiness solely, and not from any malice toward others. Unless this clear distinction between vices and crimes be made and recognized by the laws, there can be on earth no such thing as individual right, liberty, or property, and the corresponding coequal rights of another man to the control of his own person and property."

An Oz. ? That sounds beyond bad... I once made Bhang using a (dusty) 1/8th and it was horrid, waiting for the peak. I was ready to stop after 2 hours. At 4 hours I became mildly concerned because I just kept getting higher.
At 6 hours I began to feel sick and just laid on the floor.
Then things started settling down.
Never again. But I do enjoy cookies (when I know the dose). I think 1/2g weed in a cookie is more than adequate for me.
I used to make banana bread with about ~2g of green-oil, and that was good for 10-12 "comforting" slices.
