Since Canada’s legalization of cannabis five years ago, researchers say the policy has had mixed results in terms of public health and justice reform.
The take two thought peocess is probably what caused some of the mess.
Oh, well just keep it low so there’s less risk to kids, but now we gotta eat a whole damn chocolate bar if we want it in chocolate bar form.
If we can’t get the dosage we want in the size and form factor we want, people will just keep getting it on the black market rather than gorge themselves unnecessarily
I’m way outside of the loop on this as I don’t use cannabis in any form, but if I get what people are saying the dose on the edibles means that you wouldn’t eat a typical serving of candy to feel the effects?
That sounds both stupid and dangerous to me. I’d think some of the reason you’d eat the candy is for the texture and flavour, so why wouldn’t they be dosed in a way that they expect you to eat the whole bag as a snack?
I can’t imagine buying a bag of sour patch kids and being told I can only eat three of the candies out of it.
If you want to eat a whole chocolate bar to get high, you can go ahead and buy a dosed bar appropriately, but a lot of people don’t want to do that. And 1 bar might not even be enough as people have different tolerances.
On the black market, things can be dosed so you can maybe do it in 2-3 squares of a 16 square chocolate bar. You can get high, but also don’t need to eat an unhealthy amount of sugar. We don’t want to be encouraging a chocolate bar a day for some people.
Valid point on the “one a day” possibility. I never considered it that way.
