Actually you're right; if someone wants to eat 20 cookies and jump out of a window who am I to stop them?
However if someone can very easily overdose on these things that they start waving a gun around and shooting their wife who is trying to summon help for him then maybe things need to be looked at more carefully. Is the clerk even required to tell the dude to only eat a fifth of a cookie? I kind of thought that was just the clerk doing a "by the way" thing to cover their own ass.
If eating a high amount of trans fats could cause one to pull out a gun and start firing randomly then yes, I also think the cashier/server/whathaveyou should be required to educate the customer on that very real possibility and probably make sure not to serve him two hamburgers if one hamburger has the possibility of going insane. This is especially true if most of your customers walk in thinking hamburgers are 100% safe and can never make you do shit like that no matter how many you eat.
If the state wants to get into the business of making money off this shit then they should get into the business of investing some of that money back into making sure as many people as possible are doing so safely.
Do you have personal experience with drinking 10 times the considered "safe" limit of alcohol in the time it would take you to consume two regular sized cookies? :/
I still say it would probably be almost impossible to do so without vomiting/getting sick or even passing out. That would be like, what, drinking 50 beers in 20 seconds?
ETA: A quick Google search states someone died of alcohol poisoning from consuming 24 shots of liquor in 2 hours.
No one is going to OD off 2 cannabis edibles.
Pain pills and marijuana.

So?
Even if you're trying to claim "See?! Marijuana PLUS other drugs = bad" that's still, like, bad and stuff and people should be educated on the dangers. Right on the prescription bottle it will say "Do not operate heavy machinery or drink alcohol while on this medication." Does it say the same for the marijuana candy bar?
From what I read the guy jumping out the window had no documented mental disorders and his friends attested he only took marijuana and they only found marijuana in his system.
How do you account for that one?
