[quote=Anonymous]Pay attention or not at your own peril. As a prior poster noted, this is not Obama's marijuana, or the marijuana of our youth. Marijuana has hundreds of compounds. If you had too much with the old stuff, some of the compounds would make you fall asleep, get drowsy. Others would make you hungry. Now, with edibles, you can overdose on just one of those compounds and find yourself literally tripping for days. I actually encouraged my kids, if they were going to experiment, to do weed instead of potentially overdosing on alcohol. I was so wrong. One child had an episode where they were tripping for three days solid, did not know if they were ever going to be okay again. Tried to handle it themselves, and ended up after the psychotic episode with anxiety and depression (now being treated). Same thing happened to her cousin, but he had to have a week inpatient psychiatric facility stint. Neither have first episode psychosis, they literally had a psychotic episode induced by marijuana. We are not only talking about people that may be predisposed to psychosis (which is also a serious problem), but our "normal" kids having a psychotic episode induced by drugs that they literally cannot handle.
