Huaco Kid Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'll bet they climbed up the ropes really fast at the beginning of class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbie18 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 EMS and schools tend to be overly cautious when it comes to marijuana, or kid's health in general. It's doubtful that these five students really required hospitalization. Just an over abundance of caution, that's all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I've refused ambulances / hospitals a hundred times in my life. If someone calls an ambulance, and they show up, they really really really want you to go with them. For my best interest, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my city, juveniles aren't allowed to refuse EMS transport no matter how unhurt they are at the time. It takes a parent or guardian on the scene to stop what is often a ridiculously unnecessary ambulance ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't intend to use marijuana myself until immediately after I retire.Questions: 1) how many edibles did each kid sent to the hospital consume2) was the THC content of each consumable known?3) what were the symptoms the victims complained of? Without that info your speculation is baseless. That aside, if you really were a Cop, especially one in the Schools, you'd know the school would send them for medical clearance/ treatment just to cover themselves as the kids were under the care of the school.

SevenSixtyTwo Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Even the sheriff and school board authorities say no harm done but it gives the far right an opportunity to scream from their soapbox, "Five children hospitalized after eating that bad Marijuana"!!! The kid who provided the candy is facing felony charges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Jack boot using Copatalk Well yes, I am speculating, as is everyone else in this thread. Ain't it fun? Anyway, it's been my experience that hospitalizing kids over marijuana is just an over abundance of caution for the sake of liability. I'm not convinced that these kids were going to die or anything, probably just eat doritos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They contain high concentrations of THC the likes of which you would not find in "just weed".As such you can OD or get quite ill off them.

Sent from my Jack boot using Copatalk I certainly don't claim to be an expert, although I have seen marijuana consumables render a person ill and worthless for a couple days. I'm not a fan of weed, I just think the article has an obvious spin to it. Even the local sheriff downplayed the severity of the situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, don't we all dream of letting loose when we retire? Weed isn't what either of the two extremes people want us to believe. One extreme promotes it as a miracle drug, the other extreme thinks it is is evil incarnate. Marijuana consumables aren't exactly killing people left and right. I'd prefer more articles on heroin instead. Now, THERE is a problem that boggles my mind and is more worth my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t4terrific Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 If Republicans and Democrats weren’t both so Hell bent on spending our money and limiting our freedom, we might actually be able to live our lives as free men and women.Our government does what we want. It “solves” our problems and it tells others that they can’t do the things we don’t want them to do.The problem is that some of those things are things we should be able to do. Things like being able to defend ourselves, raise and teach our children, save our money (and keep it), ingest things that make us feel better, and the list goes on.Remember, that for every right you want the government to take away from someone else, there are five rights that other people want the government to take away from you. The government aims to please and the two parties each do their part in the process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
