Age of Marijuana Use and Psychosis

[waywardgs]

For medical use I can definitely see the appeal of pills, but for recreational use, why shouldn't there be good tasting edibles? There are already steps in place to make the packaging resistant to children and the packaging unlike other known food products. You can say it isn't analogous to point to flavored alcohol, but it doesn't make it true. Else everyone would drink non-flavored vodka. Hell, certain types of malt beverages were deemed too appealing for children, so they made it more difficult to buy. Edibles are already far more difficult to buy than alcohol, and recently had even more precautions put into place.

I hate beer, when I was underage and now, but I love me some bitch drinks.

Give your average 8 year old a bottle of vodka, I don't care what it's flavored with, he's likely not going to enjoy it. That's why it's not analogous. Cookies are hard to pass up though. You can pack it in whatever you want, kids will open that up and say OOH a cookie!!

I have yet to hear a good reason for doing it besides "it tastes good." Which isn't a terribly convincing reason seeing as you can get the same effect by ingesting it separately and then, you know, just eating a cookie.

On a side note, I bet the rising number of kids going to the hospital for getting into daddy's brownies is related to MJ's newfound legality in these states- the parents are more likely to BRING their kids to the hospital now that it's legal because they don't have to fear getting into as much trouble from the cops for having weed in the first place. This is probably a good thing.
