Some of us have never used marijuana or other illegal substances so wouldn't know how we're "supposed" to feel when illegal substances are ingested. (I've never smoked cigarettes, either, but that would be a choice of a legal substance versus someone forcing it on me :))

Soooooo if someone was to give me a brownie and I started feeling wierd, I wouldn't be like "oh...it must've been laced with something...yay, I'm officially a weed head."

I'd be wondering why I feel so wierd and going to the ER or someplace to get checked out. That's extremely dangerous because you don't know how her body responded to the substance. Plus, what if she was about to operate a motor vehicle or do something where she had to be drug tested?

Accident or not, those idiots need to be reprimanded because it's both stupid and dangerous. It's "virtually impossible" to OD but it isn't impossible, especially since marijuana is sometimes laced with other crap.

^^^You are my post mentor! That is what I meant.

I have NO IDEA how I should feel if I smoked anything as I never have before....mor the less ate it.

One of my favorite movies is "Never Been Kissed." I watch it everytime it comes on. :)

Drew Barrymore went crazy after eating those laced brownies.

Oh hells yes.

Vitamin A....Vitamin B...Vitamin T...H...C!

I live in a city where pot of practically legal. I've never seen anyone "lace" good herb with anything. There's no point in doing that.

The act was stupid and I understand completely how one could freak out having never felt that way before.......but ingesting a weed brownie is not "extremely dangerous". It's actually better for you than just straight smoking it.

....and it really is pretty much impossible to OD on marijuana. I was reading a study that was done at UCLA and I believe they stated that you would have to smoke something like 27,000 joints in a certain time frame to kill yourself ( like 2-4 hours).

All I can say is that Marijuana is expensive! I can't imagine why anyone would waste their money giving it to people who don't want to get high. That being said, I don't do any drugs and I would be really really mad if someone gave me one of those brownies.

No such thing. It's illegal.

People lace marijuana sometimes. You don't have to "see" it for it to happen across the country. (Unless you are the resident weed expert who is in charge of the preparation and distribution of weed across the country)

Unknowingly and unwillingly ingesting drugs is as "extremely dangerous" as the person who unknowingly and unwillingly ingested it feels that it is.

But you're interpreting "dangerous" strictly in "could kill you personally" terms (and her reactions do still sound pretty severe, in any case). What if she ate the brownie then got behind the wheel? What if she ate the brownie then went off to her nanny job where she was responsible for young children? What if she ate the brownie then went off to her part-time job where she works in a kitchen with hot surfaces and sharp objects? There is still plenty of "danger" in this scenario. And by the way...

I'm not talking about getting high and driving, getting high and walking down the street, getting high and taking care of a child, etc. etc. etc.

I'm talking about strictly eating brownies with THC butter in it. It isn't going to hurt you other than making you really high.

Great, they were "hospitalized". I cut my finger once and was "hospitalized". Doesn't mean I was in any grave danger.

The thing about giving people substances without consent is that you have no control over how they will feel or what they do that will be affected by the substances. That's the point.

Really? No such thing? So the 20 some odd states that have decriminalized marijuana laws.......is that like......a made up joke or something?

.....and since you live in Austin and everything, please tell me more about what I don't know about this city. You are more likely to get a ticket for J walking than you are for having some pot on you here. Sure, it is "illegal", I guess. It's also the lowest priority among law enforcement procedure and has recently been put on a list of things that an officer can choose himself whether or not to cite. If you have less than an ounce on you, they are basically instructed to write you a misdemeanor ticket and let you go. A speeding ticket is more expensive.

I'm not saying that it absolutely doesn't happen.....but it isn't common whatsoever. What is it laced with, when it is? You seem to know. Usually, lacing marijuana means you mix it with tobacco.

Well, alrighty then....


No such thing as "practically legal." If it is illegal in your state, except for medicinal use, then it is still illegal unless it is possessed (and used) as the law permits.

So are you saying that marijuana has been decriminalized in your state, beyond legal medical use? ORLY? Of course not.......

That doesn't make it "practically legal."

Whether you get a ticket for marijuana possession at the cop's discretion because they don't want to overcrowd jails(http://blog.austindefense.com/articl...led-substance/) or are arrested for it, it is still illegal. Jails in almost every city in this country are overcrowded because of low level drug offenders--that includes those 20 states that you claim have decriminalized marijuana.

Plus there are still cops on the beat for marijuana possession (including cops who have gotten killed during marijuana busts in Austin).


Marijuana can and has been laced with tobacco, crack, powdered cocaine, embalming fluid, and other substances. This is why there are different slang terms for marijuana joints. Laced marijuana has been purchased by people who want that extra high, confiscated by narcotics divisions, and distributed at parties where people have gotten sick because of it.


Mas preguntas?

mccallan edited his post for it to make more sense. :) Perhaps after doing some researching.

So you know that it's illegal. The "practically legal" was an error on your part.

Law enforcement still prioritizes it, they just prioritize it for certain "types" of offenders. Figure that one out.

No, I simply added the part about tobacco. My posts make perfect sense to me.

Again, I live here.......you don't. You can post articles and lecture me about marijuana laws in my own state and the city I live in all you want. For low level marijuana possession and recreational pot smokers.......it is practically legal here, regardless of the fact that it may be illegal under the letter of the law. Evidently that is a really hard concept for you to understand. Really though, stop trying to argue. I know that is going to be incredibly difficult for you considering how much you love the sound of your own voice.

In regards to lacing herb with other drugs.....I've heard of putting all of that in marijuana. I have never once heard of marijuana being mass produced and distributed in that manner. I'm sure it is entirely plausible for smaller scale distributors though. Most of the time when I have seen that, people buy the pot separately and add other things in themselves.

It isn't. It just depends on who the possessor/user is.

I posted that site for your reference because I overlooked the part of your post where you admitted that it wasn't really legal.

Dude, you responded to my post like you were clearing the air about something. You weren't. I'm not arguing with you, I am responding to your replies.

I'd rather someone admit their points are inaccurate and misapplied and shut up than act like people are picking arguments out of their asses.

Good.
