Well one person in one state in one year since marijuana became legal for recreational use. When does human life become significant?Quote:

We either care about the safety of children across the board or we are just singling out marijuana.
This is also because guns are legal in every state and so far we have a whooping two states and 2 years worth of data to pull marijuana overdose on children from. Also I didn't provide any numbers for children dying on accidental alcohol poisoningQuote:

Perhaps no "fun" colored guns, such as those ugly hot pink ones. If you're willing to do that, then I'd be willing to do away with cookie/candy-based edibles.
As an aside, medical marijuana, and by extension, edibles are present in far more than 2 states. As the amount of sales are in the millions, I would claim their presence is in no way inconsequential.
I bet Tg would be interested to know Colorado is already working on this...State Bill 1366 was signed by the governor and will soon go into effect:

No level of oversight is sufficient in his argument. He is for absolute prohibition on all snack-based edibles. To get it he is willing to accept an awful lot of government intrusion into his household, but at least he is consistent.Quote:

I think it's funny that he's just now talking about it though, considering children admitted to the hospital with marijuana "overdoses" has steadily increased every year since 2009, but it's still a statistically insignificant number. The whole "every life is precious" crap is just that. If that's the case, there are hundreds of things to spend your time campaigning for/against that would provide greater returns.Quote:

I asked you when does human life become significant. Answer me!Quote:

I think it would entirely depend on how the kid got THC in his system (at a friend's house, from the local and awesome child drug dealer, etc) but if you're talking about a parent leaving their THC candy around and their child ate it I agree, some sort of law should be applicable. Then again you run the risk of the parents doing nothing and hoping the child doesn't need medical care because they don't want to get in trouble.Quote:

I don't think too many toddlers are going to blow through 22 cookies. But it's not pounds, it's about half a pound.
So now it's only a problem if they're bought premade? Lol tgo logic. Wow.
