(11,780 posts)I dont know about there, but here pot is legal and they sell all sorts of edible products. The THC concentration can vary a lot. That being said I dont now how much youd have to ingest to get so sick you are hospitalized. Might be more to the story than youve been told.

My brother and SIL are going to spend some time with him.
He's a nurse and I taught AP1 and AP2 to him
Not into the party scene, but be afraid people.

And I certainly hope your nephew's girlfriend will be ok. Scary.

(59,696 posts)I have the rare allergic reaction. When I was in college I was at a party and smoked about a half a joint and became quite ill, uncontrollable vomiting, etc. I cannot even imagine what an edible would do to me.
In terms of it being spiked, I recently read an article warning young people that there is a marked increase in drinks being spiked at parties. I would assume that could apply to edibles as well.
I hope she will be OK.

(59,696 posts)It is said to be rare. I also have severe food allergies, so I guess I should not be surprised that I reacted so strongly. Do you have any other allergies?

How much THC do you have to take to put yourself in the ICU?
This is completely fucked up.

(11,780 posts)I wasnt much into edibles but my brother was so I used to get it for him. Lots of different products and potency. But the capsules I got for him in a regular basis were 10mg per capsule. Sometimes hed take 2. But it always seemed to me that when smoking it youd top out at some point. Eating it, seems like you can keep going and more and more effect. I dont know, limited experience with edibles.
