In reply to the discussion: Maureen Dowd eats Colorado cannabis candy bar, unwise about dosage. [View all]Warpy
(114,564 posts)And the 21 drinks on the 21 birthday crowd ends up in serious trouble unless the drinks are very small and very watered down, requiring dialysis in an ER IF THEY LIVE TO GET THERE.
Dowd spent an uncomfortable night on 16 times the dosage, required no medical attention and has had no physical aftereffects, although I'm sure the memories aren't pleasant to revisit.
She demonstrated the safety of pot, even super strong, ingested pot, beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Disclaimer: yes, some people go into supraventricular tachycardia and that is very unpleasant. Once the drug wears off, it goes away, too. People with serious heart conditions should probably take cannabis in small inhaled or vaped doses until they know how it will affect them and leave the long acting ingested stuff alone.
