The emesis isn't fake, it's a real thing that can happen after a lot of use. And people can get panicky if they get too high, with pounding heart and panic attacks.

This is not reefer madness, it is common sense warnings like with any other drug.
Sure. Yet certain people are taking these small number of cases & screaming that THIS is why pot shouldn't be made legal. It's a hysterical hand wringing overreaction, while at the same time ignoring the very real & countless cases of drunkenness, alcohol poisoning & the litany of other issues associated w/alcohol use. Oh & don't forget prescription drugs. It's totally disingenuous.

I am not saying it is fake. What I am saying is the OP is a true believer in Reefer Madness. Some edibles are definitely loaded and need to be regulated a bit to make them safe. The article the OP posted is misleading as usual. The OP believes pot is bringing on the end of the world.

Without accusing anyone specifically of anything I would just say that anyone who drinks alcohol has no leg to stand on in their support of the continued prohibition of marijuana.

More bad news for the notion that pot is safe and great. The drugs build up in your brain and cause vomiting and screaming. Chime: but, but, but, big pharma!
Oh no! I've been using it every day (more or less) for 45 years! When will I scromit????????

Nevermind. You are the same poster who believes using marijuana causes people to eat faces off (I'm not kidding, the OP truly believes that), believes that anyone who has used marijuana in the last 28 days should not be working, and believes that all marijuana users (even medical) should be required to wear a bracelet at all times that informs the police of their location. That way, when they get violent from their marijuana use the police can quickly locate them.

I'm not making this up.

Need I say more?

Thank God reefer madness hasn't hit Appalachia! They'll stick to the tried-and-true Oxycontin and Heroin for their highs!
