“We want to be sure anyone who has this pizza on hand throws it away so they don’t get sick,” health officials told customers.
Nobody knows the dosage in the pizza for sure since it was a cooking accident that it was dosed with THC to begin with. You don’t really measure olive oil when you cook with it, plus the distribution wouldn’t be even, so even if you do make a guess based on about how much oil you used and the concentration of the THC in the oil, it might have simply pooled more on one side of the pan if they used it as a non-stick coating, or just based on how it mixed into the dough if they mix in olive oil normally.
With the quantities involved it’s just impossible to reliably guess the dosage that any affected product might have, and with any kind of drug, recreational or not, the dosage absolutely matters a ton.
Meh; even if there was 1000+ mg of pure THC per slice, I’m still not worried cause it is impossible to overdose. That said, I can see how someone who isn’t familiar with the effects could freak out and check themselves into a hospital if they didn’t realize what happened. But even then they’ll be fine after they sleep it off. They’ll get a good chuckle from the doctor and be sent on their way. No harm, no foul.
I mean, this isn’t alcohol or fent were talking about, here. It’s weed, and I’m sick of people acting like it’s dangerous. Drink too much coffee and you’ll have a heart attack. Pop 30 aspirin and that’ll be your last headache. Consume too much THC—even more than any reasonable person would ever take—and you’ll get horny, hungry, and sleepy. And maybe some paranoia if you’re prone to anxiety like I am but again, you’ll be fine by tomorrow. It’s not a big deal.

See, this is the conventional wisdom but I’m skeptical given we’ve hit a similar point with capsaicin where after a few years of arms race to make the hottest peppers in the world and making peppers hotter by orders of magnitude from what previously occured in nature we now have a couple of individuals who have died as a result of eating extremely spicy food (granted it exposed underlying health conditions but they would very likely still be alive today if they hadn’t eaten overly spicy food) so now there’s some question to the conventional wisdom of spicy food can’t kill you. And I seriously suspect that we’ll see the same with THC sooner or later
