These caused a 2-year-old child of a friend of a friend to be couch-locked, who had to be taken into the hospital for observation:

I wonder how many times that's happened. In Canada, either 100 or 1,000 people are taken to the hospital daily for THC-related anxiety.
THC just isn't for some people. For me personally, even CBD is a bit much for about 5-10 minutes on the come-up.
I think people who enjoy THC project that onto everyone else, but it's not for everyone.
I just heard about that child and decided to post this. I know some Getbiggers enjoy THC. But this is also a copyright infringement matter, and no doubt will confuse people, including children.
I just think THC gummies are accidents waiting to happen. I think they should be packaged like medicine.

Probably one of the stupidest ways to market a product. All for a buck.

Whatever happened to personal responsibility? I think the parent should have been more careful with his drugs

If THC didn't cause near-psychosis in some people [it does for me - makes me feel like I'm dying of a heart attack], I wouldn't care as much.
I feel like the market would push it towards being packaged like medication, but I guess not.

Gotta get the kids on the gateway drugs as soon as possible.

In this particular case, because Jolly Ranchers doesn't actually make THC gummies [the company making them ripped off the JR trademark], I side with the parent.
Perhaps had he not recognized the name of the gummies, he would have been more careful.
On that note, I do tend to lean libertarian on this type of thing. It's just that I personally find THC to be so utterly and completely horrifying, that I'm probably a bit biased here.
Still though, at the least - it's not cool to rip off established brand names to make THC gummies.

I'll admit - I was trolling a bit. I agree that they should make the packaging less enticing to children and less similar in appearance to candy.
I just find it interesting that on this issue you seem to be for some type of government regulation. Given that you seem to be of a libertarian-type mindset, I felt the inconsistency was worth highlighting :P

Yeah, I know. I'm biased here, plain and simple. I need to acknowledge when I'm being inconsistent with respect to my normal thought process.
In my case, I am so utterly and completely HORRIFIED of marijuana, that I will probably threaten to disembowel the next person who offers me some of their joint.
I can't even describe in words how absolutely TERRIFYING it was to see what I saw when I smoked THC!!!! And when I ate a full cookie when I was only supposed to eat 1/4 or 1/2, I was absolutely certain that I would be dead within the hour.
I'm not sure if anyone has ever seen what UTTER HORROR I saw that day. I wouldn't wish that nightmare on anyone, and certainly not any of my Getbig friends.
Very scary stuff:

The biggest problem with these fake edibles is that they say 400-600mg but in reality only have maybe 20-30mg most of the time. IF THAT. So naturally, these could trick a consumer into thinking they can handle a dose like 400mg. Until one day they actually eat a legit 400mg medicated edible and have the fear of god struck into their soul for the next 20 hours.

This is some VERY SCARY SHIT:
Jim English
My sister once ate an edible by accident and she, and the family in the house, had no idea what it was. I understand these circumstances are unusual, but it was an accidental order of chocolates from a family friend who intended to pick them up before anyone would realise.
What followed was my sister reacting to a 420mg dosage of weed, she had no idea what she had consumed until she arrived at hospital with an uncontrollable heart rate. She thought she’d been poisoned and fully believed she was dying. I don’t blame her. All these “lOl baD HiGH eXPeRieNcE” stories all involve people knowing there was weed in the house or with someone informing them afterward. My sister, the family in the house, had NO idea and had never smoked/consumed weed in their life.
All I’m saying is, weed can have some terrifying psychological effects and my sister (age 28) is still terrified of her experience to this day
I know some Getbiggers enjoy their weed, but this is UTTERLY HORRIFYING [IMO]:
Stormyy
Here’s my terrible experience with edibles.
It was late, my friend was picking up our mutual friend. We had a 6 of us in the car. I was sitting in the passenger side next to my best friend. We had just gotten back from picking up some other drugs, and we were driving back to my house.
My friend offers me a weed cookie that his parents made. I wanted to try edibles really badly because I’d never done it before. So, I give him a $5 bill and he gives me my cookie. It was a Friday night so I ate it all in the passenger seat. After I gobble it down, I hear my friend in the back seat go “Did you just eat the whole fucking thing?” And I say “yeah, I just put the whole thing in my mouth. Why?” And he starts hysterically laughing. He told me it was one of the most potent ones he had. So I’m trying to relax, and enjoy the car ride back home. I was expecting it to take about an hour to kick in, and it was about 8 at night. But within 20 minutes I immediately started to feel it. Time started slowing down, I was feeling very disoriented, and I melted into the car seat. Paranoia also kicked in, and while I was sitting there completely incoherent, I see a sheriff pass me and I had a panic attack. But I was still on the come up. So we finally reach my house, I open the door and I try to walk. I’m still able to walk, but it feels extremely weird to. I reach my room, and I immediately lost all feeling in my legs and I fell on my bed. I started tripping balls. I could barely talk cause words weren’t coming out, I was panicking because I felt like I was inside of a dream. I felt like nobody was actually there and all my friends were a figment of my imagination. Minutes felt like hours. I was starting to have an anxiety attack because I felt like I came to the realization that nothing that was happening was real. My friend grabbed my shoulder and told me he was real, but my eyes were closed and his voice sounded like a demon. Then I threw up 3 times in a plastic bag on the floor. I felt a little better afterwards. I don’t remember it, but I passed out for about 3 hours. I woke up with my friend Lexie right next to me, and she told me I’d been asleep for 3 hours but I felt like I was awake the whole time. I woke up on the comedown. I was trying to wrap my head around what had just happened to me. So at this point it’s about 11:30 at night. my friends all leave. When they left, I tried to get up and go to the bathroom but I immediately threw up everywhere. So I just laid in bed, and woke up foggy as hell.
I have not eaten edibles since

There was no need to take the child to the hospital actual would make it worse nothing they can do child was better off home on the couch if having any kind of anxiety paranoia issue vs going to a hospital

I think you need to have seen the HORRORS that I saw from consuming THC [even smoking it - let alone eating it] to understand why I think Canada and the USA should consider increasing the sentence for marijuana users to the death sentence, completely. The death sentence for anyone even EXPRESSING INTEREST in using THC.
Execute all of them.
I know this deviates from my usual libertarian views somewhat.
...
Jk. ;D
No, but really - bhank, this is some VERY scary stuff:
-
Personally, I would have rather never existed than know of the horrors I saw from smoking marijuana.
I find it to be a hideous drug, in terms of its effects on me.
I'm assuming if I did it enough, I would become schizophrenic.
It made me ask myself: what's the point of living if this is the kind of terror you have to see?
If I was offered a joint, or a quantity of heroin that would kill me, I'd take the heroin for sure.
Good for all the Getbiggers who enjoy their weed though. Amazing genetics, IMO.

I agree putting them in a bag saying jolly ranchers is pretty fucked up. I love thc but in small doses. I too have freaked out a bunch of times form a homemade edible that was just way to strong and I swore I would never take an again but I just only buy at dispensaries so I know what the dose is and I take small doses. The extreme angst and paranoia that I’ve had from to mush is scary and I did believe I would have a heart attack. At the same time the parents should put that stuff somewhere a child cannot get it.

This sounds so terrifying to me, that I just about want to find a Priest to confess my sins.
When I took it, my heart rate felt like it was 240 beats per minute. It was actually 120 which is still high!
Interesting to see that even people who generally like THC can have these experiences. :( :'( :-X

The packaging is irresponsible but the parent(s) should keep the gummies locked up with their oxy’s, Valium
Xanax and booze

Incompetant Drugged Up Parenting Of Peace

Never met a drug I didn't like
I've had the lot - and I didn't believe that visual hallucinations were actually like looking at 'real' things until my first one (of many). One of the stronger ones I recall that I suppose might have freaked some people out suddenly hit me in the middle of a dance floor:
If I looked someone straight in the face their eyes were closed, but everyone in my peripheral vision had massive open wide eyes and raised eyebrows and were craning their necks forward to stare at me without blinking. And as I rotated my view around the room, their eyes would close when I looked at them, and the person I had just looked away from instantly opened their eyes wide and leaned towards me - staring...
Sounds horrific ;D, but I knew what was going on so I was more fascinated by it than upset. I even told my girlfriend - who I was dancing with at the time her eyes were closed while I was explaining this to her and she was laughing about it - with her eyes apparently shut all the time I was looking at her
One time I even had the 'thrashing limbs' sensation that made me feel like my (actually stationary) arms were whipping backwards and forwards like those heads in 'Jacobs Ladder' ;D
Matt - some people are OK with altered reality, and some aren't - it's just the way it is - glad you know what to stay away from now 8)

they don't package edibles like that in Las Vegas
usually bland packaging with a def label and usually some sort of advanced system to gain access
hell, I get small like things of concentrate and my gh hands won't allow me to open the damn things
that kind of packaging just seems like a stretch and you're trying to get attention of teenagers or the "cool kids"
but yea , I don't think kids or animals should be exposed to THC - its gets too intense

I left a loaded gun on my bedside table , my stupid 5 year old blew his head off with it.

That's what I am thinking. I get the packaging is inappropriate but this incident seems like a failure in parenting (lack of observation over the child)

I've experienced a few greenouts, they are not fun and I definitely wouldn't wish them on a child. But most of these edibles in knockoff packaging arent made by some big company, they are just homemade edibles in a mylar bag that the dealer got off of ali express:
https://mylarconnection.com/products/jolly-rancher-medicated-gummies-sours-empty-edibles-mylar-packaging-600mg
The whole purpose of the bags is that it's just the candy with some tincture added to them. I take edibles occasionally and have three kids and my biggest fear is that they might possibly get into them. That's why I don't buy stuff in kid friendly packaging and I don't keep it where they can get to it. The story you described is 100% parents fault. Leaving infused candy around where a young child can get it is wildly irresponsible.

You won't find a product like that at a legit, US dispensary. A dead giveaway for an underground, fake product is the cartoon shit. No legit company advertises cannabis in that way. It looks like your product was some underground Canada shit. At least here in Cali, there is a 100mg limit on serving size and packaging is VERY difficult to open and is heavily regulated.
The most notable FAKE, street vapes are called Mario Carts. Again, the cartoon shit. It killed some people because it used toxic Vitamin E acetate oil in the vape. Again, NO legit cannabis company advertises or sells that type of product. Go to a legit dispensary.

Actually, it would probably still be possible for you to enjoy THC. If I smoke too much weed I get extreme anxiety, feels like I'm drowning or being buried alive. For me the key is to take just the right amount at the right time. Usually late at night. Then it can be absolutely beautiful. It also greatly enhances sex and music, both of these things become totally different experiences. If I smoked a whole joint in the morning I'd always regret it. I have suffered from debilitating panic anxiety in the past, still do sometimes, so I know what extreme anxiety feels like and weed can definitely induce it.
I take one or two small hits at a time, that's it. I think you've probably simply taken too much without having much experience with it?
Powerlifter Greg Panora talks about weed all the time on IG. Films himself drinking a bottle with 600mg of THC. I would never dare do something like that.
-

I agree with this.
Incompetent packaging and parenting go hand in hand.
There are a lot of things that "look" enticing to a child that you have to hide from them.
My friend's daughter almost choked to death on these little decorative glass beads that looked like marbles.
They left a jar of them on the coffee table as a decoration.
Not the brightest idea.
I don't have kids, but when friends and family with kids come to my house i child proof the place.
Because it's my responsibility to do so.

Taffin, reading your story was ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING to me.
On the plus side, I'm probably hyper-sensitive to THC, and would probably benefit from tiny, tiny amounts.
It's probably an autistic thing.
The best way I can explain it is: imagine being so hyper-sensitive to stimuli that every sensation is 10x stronger.
I'm a hyper-responder to caffeine, also.
Another way to look at it:
To me, SMOKING marijuana is on par with eating edibles, to most people.
So that's probably how I will start explaining it to people from now on, if they pass me a joint. If they continue to attempt to push it on me, I'll probably lose my mind. I had an experience with that with a tranny tenant of my parents this past summer. She looked like a woman, and I still call her "her" because of that.
She kept fucking asking me to smoke a joint, even after I said no multiple times, then her boyfriend [an actual male] blew smoke in my face. Both are Indigenous people.
I was one more incident like that away from giving them a warning, but I had to go anyway, so I just walked away.
Some people don't take no for an answer.
Honestly, I'd rather try heroin than ever smoke THC again. I'm sure the heroin in my city is some fentanyl-laced garbage though.
But I would MUCH rather do hard drugs than THC, if given the choice.
It's just not for me. Which is a bit sad, honestly - from what I understand, THC is a huge benefit for many users.
Do they have good drugs in the UK, Taffin? Just wondering, based on where you are situated, and the borders that importers would have to pass to get there. ;D

It's not Jack Daniel's fault if you leave a bottle around and your kid drinks it.
Even if they put Big Bird on the label, what you bring into the house and how you secure it is on you.

Yup....irresponsible parents were the cause.....bottom line.

I've used THC for about half my life - damn near everyday as well - I was in South TX in HS so cannabis was always around
I never got into drinking having worked as a bouncer since age 20 - never liked drunk crowds
edible form of THC is prob the craziest - it changes its chem structure and gets the liver involved - this process can cause schizophrenic episodes to occur in people who have small underlying conditions - I have seem this happen on a small scale

I remember that lawsuit in the 80s when the woman spilled McDonalds coffee on herself and sued McDonalds because it was hot. And she won. That was the turning point. The world hasn't been the same since. We need to find her and beat her ass.

Everyone used to make these stupid devices out of bottles to take a massive hit of it really fast. We called them rockets (online picture):
I was told these are called gravity bongs. I don't need massive hits, it's just too much the few times I tried it. First time I tried cannabis it was with a gravity bong and it wasn't pleasant. But still I did it again :D I was too high for 4 hours but then later when I listened to music I could hear things I didn't before, or more correctly the music had a new meaning. It was euphoric, somewhat spiritual or even religious lol :D
What I don't like with weed is how long it affects me. Like right now, I smoke each night but I can feel some effects round the clock, I don't quite 100% get to sober baseline.

Couldn't tell you my friend - was forced to put all that behind me. And with all the crackdowns leading to so many fake or research drugs being out there I'm not sure I'd ever risk that sort of thing again...
In terms of routes into the country, 30 years ago, someone I know used to get most stuff from Liverpool as there's a commercial port there. Then this friend would use a photographic developing* unit out on an industrial estate to store things due to the strong chemical smell covering them. That was legit amphetamines and other related stuff like MDMA and pills. Other stuff would arrive by air into Ireland where customs were a bit more relaxed, and then come over in a car ferry
*yes that's how fucken old I am ;D
