[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have edibles at my house and my oldest is in 4th grade (different school) and here’s my 2 cents: I believe parents have to be very careful where they put edibles and when they use them. These things look exactly like candy, and eating one in front of a kid but trying to explain it away is never going to work. Of course the kid is going to be curious.

I also think it is entirely possible that a 5th grader wouldn’t necessarily know they were edibles as opposed to maybe general candy or “special” candy but not understanding what makes them “special.”  The info on the outside of the packages doesn’t say “THIS IS WEED” in huge letters. Would a 5th grader know that THC or delta 9 is actually pot?

Mine are hidden in my closet and I only use them after my kids are in bed. They have never seen me eat one and have never seen the jar—and I would know if they had because they would’ve asked me a million questions and are generally rule followers so they know to stay out of our bedroom in the first place. In addition, and most importantly IMO, mine came in a jar with a child-resistant lid (like what you see on a bottle of Tylenol). Even I have a hard time opening it. And it’s easy to put edibles in an empty Tylenol or other bottle with a child-resistant lid if they didn’t come that way.

Of course, those safeguards are only good until they’re not. Hearing about what happened at Key is a good opportunity for me and other parents to give careful thought to where we store our edibles and when/how we use them at home. I hope those parents of the kids involved are rethinking things and I hope those kids are ok! [/quote]

Or you could stop using it. [/quote]

What take is this? The fact that something is potentially harmful to a child does not mean that adults who have children cannot utilize or interact with it.

So you're a gun rights advocate too? Great. [/quote]
