What do you suggest though? That the clerk follow the customer home and if they try to eat more than 1/5 the cookie he slaps their hand and says "No no!" and takes their cookie away?



This is the problem with people in this thread. The ones railing against things to such a huge degree have little to no first hand experience with the stuff they're talking about. DON'T RUIN POT LIKE YOU RUINED GEMSTONE!!!!!11



Should we only sell vodka in single shot bottles too?



Because you can't regulate stupid. Otherwise everything would need to be banned. And taking some 1 in a million case and acting like it happens regularly is making you look like Latrin, and you must stop that immediately!

There's nothing wrong with making it mandatory to present more information to the consumer. There's a lot wrong with overregulating/banning something because a consumer chooses to be a retard and ignore said information.



It's because most if not all of those cases end up boiling down to human stupidity as opposed to reefer madness.



How long do you think it would take for those potheads to kill themselves off, with pot being such a dangerous drug that's responsible for millions upon millions of deaths?

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.
