I'm sure you copped a Bummer, but unless you had adulterated pot, your symptoms didn't match the fetal-position catatonia this liar pretends to have experienced.

I've explained my credentials. I assure you, the body can not process a 16X dose of cannabis. The receptors can't absorb that much and the excess is excreted.

There are few people of Moe's age and experience that are neophytes and I simply do not believe that she failed to read the label.

Also, it makes no sense to pack 16 doses in a single candy bar. Are you supposed to cut it into sixteen pieces? Try that w/ a Snickers, see how easy it is.

No licensed company in CO is going to produce a product like that and they certainly would include a loud warning dosage label if they did.

Seriously? Donald Ian Rankin Jun 2014 #35

Yes. You ask about dosage before ingesting any drug if you cannot find that info- or google for how bettyellen Jun 2014 #62

Well, guess what�. the amount of active THC varies from candy bar to candy bar KittyWampus Jun 2014 #80

And guess what? Sixteen doses is still fucking idiocy. As is- not asking anyone when you don't know. bettyellen Jun 2014 #82
