June 11, 2011
LONGMONT - An 11-month-old girl is recovering after authorities believe she ingested some medical marijuana. The Longmont Police Department says it happened on June 2.
The girl lives with her 17-year-old mother and her grandmother in Boulder, but they were visiting a friend's home in Longmont. Investigators say one of the people living in the home is a licensed medical marijuana holder.
Police believe the child ingested some of the marijuana while there.
She was taken to Longmont United Hospital where they thought she was in serious but stable condition. When her condition worsened, she was airlifted to The Children's Hospital in Aurora.
Her condition improved and was released from the hospital the next day.
Police say charges are being considered against the mother for putting her child in a "dangerous environment" where she could be exposed to marijuana.

My guess. Red eyes, slight increase in body temperature and heart rate and slightly lower circulation to the outer limbs and discomfort. It really depends how much she ate. I know when I ate 3 of my more potent brownies(~3 grams in each) it wasn't that great of a feeling.

exactly she was high and they made a big deal out of it.
lol there was no problem baby's just cry a shit ton and probably have the lowest tolerance XD when high because they are confused shit they cry when you flicker the lights on and off
but that goes to show that thc cannot kill you by any means and its perfectly healthy "Physically"
they baby will probably be really forgetful later on in life though now

I don't think one dose of marry jane will have a lasting effect on the child. If anything she will have a greater/lesser chance of trying it once shes older and smells it because subconsciously she will relate the smell of it to this event. Smell is linked closely to memory. Its my guess and it might be wrong/right.

To anyone that it applies. She's an infant, it's a pretty sad thing to have happen. this may have an impact in her life, not saying it will because I don't know just seems irresponsible to blow if off as she just ate weed like its not a big deal to an infants brain chemistry. Btw that post wasn't directed at you.

If she ate just a raw dry bud, she wouldn't have many effects at all. From what I understood, it has to be heated in order to be in an easy to break down form in the body. You could eat a whole bag and not feel much =P Unless of course it was in a cooked form already. She could have had an allergic reaction, and that is just pure speculation. I have no idea what/how much and whatever this little girl took and what the symptoms were =P Just throwing my speculation out there.
-------------------- In ancient times, when demons roamed with man, They hunted, loved and lost, hand in hand, As time went on, the difference between them faded. You couldn't tell anymore, demons and man were related, and some would say the same, but who would like to claim? In time, Gods had even forgot, Demons, too, once love had sought. In times recent I remember, Once I was a man, In my heart I had an ember, I'll relate the best I can but it was snuffed, one distant December. And yet here I stand, no flesh, no bones, no seed or semen, All that's left is this Demon.

I want to know exactly how the babies condition "worsened" and why taxpayer dollars were used to airlift the child to a different hospital. Unless there was some other condition present in the baby, ingestion of marijuana has been proven to have extremely low toxicity. More chance of death in a chance helicopter crash than because it ate some bud.

Neither do you.
Since marijuana has been consistently shown to be unable to kill a human even with outrageously large doses, I think they are probably sensationalizing this.
They don't provide any medical details, or explain what it means by her condition "worsened".
Unless you have some credible information indicating that marijuana can in fact seriously harm a human infant I'm going to have to agree that this story is blown way out of proportion.

Old bud can naturally decarboxylate with time to the point of oral activation... A slow process compared to heating it but definitely possible.
I don't know about Colorado but in California its not uncommon to have stashes of "last years outdoor" sitting around for a LONG time...
It could have also been a stash the parent forgot about some time ago that the child managed to unearth.
Either way, babies eattin nuggets is never a good thing...

Someone I know makes edibles in which ONE cookie is VERY strong for a regular sized human...
Her roomates chihuahua got into her room, into her closet, into the stash of cookies and ate a bag of them... about 4 cookies.
The dog just couldn't stand or walk for a few hours then passed out for another 12... Woke up PERFECTLY normal.
Not that an infant is like a chihuahua but its a testament to the relative safety and dose.

and what if the kid had gotten into some Drain-O or something, would they be considering charging the mother with anything? i doubt it. so fucking stupid, anyone who has a baby knows they get into stuff constantly and you pretty much have to save their lives all the time, my stash of herb is the last thing i worry about my kids eating, but i think the baby must have been scared as hell and that's why they thought it was so bad. i hope it doesn't have long term problems cause as much as i love herb i do believe it's not for kids and the effects are probably different in a new developing brain. but about charging the mother, unless she FED the kid the weed i don't think she should be charged with shit she is probably scared to death to see her baby in the hospital and then they want to charge her with something. i could see the dangerous environment charge if she had the kid in a crackhouse or heroin spot but a friends house who happened to be a LEGAL cardholder? thats just ridiculous the media loves to blow things up about weed, if it were alcohol the kid drank i don't think they would be making near as big a deal about it even though alcohol is a known deadly poison.

Good catch. Out of proportion.
But I will say that this can still be considered "risk of immediate harm" by dcfs if they want it to be. This is why they took my kids away for about 6 months. My kids didnt even eat it. It was within reach- in a room with a dead bolt under a bed that they are not allowed into. Plus it was hash trash.

thank god we all have yummy candy meds that are sweet and perfect to suck on... i do think some regulation of packaging would be a good thing for the industry.
i agree that she was probably in no real harm at any time, everyone over reacting.

The mom was prolly high along with the card holder- And they freaked out-Cuz really how much could the child of ate- Less than a gram- I bet- Raw weed is chalky and hard to get down- On the other note- THE should be happy thae child ate Weed- Instead of some Oxycotin or other pain pills- That would have been the "normal" script.

This entire article is pure speculation. JMO, but if I knew it was MM that a child ate, I would not take them to the hospital. I would in fact monitor my child closely and grin and bear the screaming and crying. The only instance I've ever heard of where they were able to kill a poor lab monkey with "marijuana" was actually death by smoke inhalation and had nothing to do with THC. I feel for both the child and the family for now they face all kinds of harassment from "the police", "neighbors", and "friends". There's no reason that I've read to justify the media writing this article.
In my own speculation, I would like to think that the mother was in fact trying to be a good parent and wasn't 100% sure what her child ate therefore found it to be a good call to take her child to the hospital.

Yeah, the article twice uses the word "believe" in relation the child's ingestion of Marijuana, which isn't a strong indicator that they have proof that is what actually happened.

The only "impact" this is going to have on the girl's life is the trauma she is put through because she's going to get taken away from her mom. Thanks again, people who support the drug war. You've fucked another family up.
