My son is in college in Mass. pot is legal, the Mom’s do edibles all the time. I’m not interested but my son said he’d get me some gummies next time I’m up so he can take care of me if it freaks me out.

This thread has made me curious to try one, preferable a brownie.

I hope you labeled it. 😏

Ma'am, this is a Wendy's.

Just so you know, it's easy to control what you intake with edibles (try half, wait and hour and see how you feel) and the high is more of a body high than with smoking. I don't smoke weed at all, but love a little gummy.

My 7 and 5 year olds are smart enough to know that no amount of weed will kill you. Certainly not an edible. I guess you want a pat on the back for keeping your kid in the dark about what to expect from a commonly used medication? Cool.


Lol! Ok lady.

I love that I'm not the only one who is the first person their kids call in these situations.

Good for you for being that person and it's a good story

Hilarious! It absolutely does go both ways!


I too, am a member of this club! My dad called me at 11:30 on a Friday night (what?!) and informed me that, "she's going to be ok, but we went to a dinner party at the Bakers and mom had two martinis and some puffs of marijuana. She had shortness of breathing and was very confused. We called an ambulance and she is fine but will go to the doctor on Monday to be sure."

Boomer parties be lit!

This happened to my DD summer before college. Called me at 1:30 am asking me to pick her up from a party because she’d tried weed and was in a full on panic attack.

I just figured it was a variation on “little kids little problems; big kids big problems”- except this sounds like it ended up being a big kid, little problem.

Parent of little kid who had a little problem (pooping on the table) turn into a big problem - brushed up against the stove while looking for paper towels and caused a fire! Was showering with my toddler who hates showers and baths when I smelled smoke!! Fortunately the cabinet nearest to the stove just got singed and and did not catch fire and I was able to put it out. Air quality in the home was terrible afterward… but we were so so lucky.

Feel free to shout away though - I do worry about the big kid big problems stage 😀



OP here. Wow! Glad you are all OK.
