Pot Death: Teen Leaps 4 Stories After Eating Marijuana Cookie
    #21990256 - 07/24/15 01:18 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Source.
Officials determined that marijuana intoxication, from cookies, was the chief contributing factor to the man’s death.

A teenager in Colorado died after consuming an entire marijuana cookie that contained 6 servings of marijuana’s active ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), according to a new report.

The 19-year-old man had received a marijuana cookie from his friend, a 23-year-old who bought the product from a store. The sales clerk instructed the friend to divide the cookie into six pieces, with each piece containing about 10 mg of THC, the recommended serving size established by Colorado authorities.

At first, the 19-year-old followed these instructions, and ate just part of the cookie. But after about 30 to 60 minutes, he didn’t feel any effects, so he ate the rest of the cookie, according to the report, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

Over the next few hours, the man showed erratic speech and hostile behaviors, the report said. About 2.5 hours after he ate the whole cookie, he jumped off a balcony on the fourth floor of his building, and died from trauma from the fall, the report said.

Officials determined that marijuana intoxication was the chief contributing factor to the man’s death, which occurred in March 2014. An autopsy found that the man’s blood levels of THC were above the legal limit for driving a car in Colorado.

“This case illustrates a potential danger associated with recreational edible marijuana use,” the report said.
In 2012, Colorado legalized the recreational use of marijuana, and stores selling the products opened in 2014.

Marijuana takes longer to have an effect when ingested as opposed to smoked. Peak blood levels of THC occur about 1 to 2 hours after ingestion of marijuana, compared to just 5 to 10 minutes after the drug is smoked.

“Because of the delayed effects of THC-infused edibles, multiple servings might be consumed in close succession before experiencing the ‘high’ from the initial serving, as reportedly occurred in this case,” the report said.

High doses of THC “can produce serious anxiety attacks and psychoticlike symptoms,” Robert MacCoun, a professor at Stanford Law School, told Live Science in an interview earlier this year. MacCoun previously published a commentary in the New England Journal of Medicine expressing concern about the hazards of edible marijuana products for children and teens.

In February this year, Colorado instituted new rules for the packaging and labeling of edible marijuana products, requiring these products to contain no more than 10 mg of THC, or to have clear marking of each 10-mg serving, the report said.

However, the new report suggests “a need for improved public health messaging to reduce the risk for overconsumption of THC,” the researchers said.

Old story march 2014. Seems there is so much positive spin on the herb lately that the media had to throw this one back out there.

There are several things that really bug me about this

#1 I have heard so many bogus stories about cannabis only deaths since it was legalized in CO that I honestly don't know whether this is a credible report based on the true toxicology outcomes or just more scare tactiscs

#2 In my city (like many) cities we have a contest where people do dumb shit for cash or other winnings on the radio. Some chick tried to win nintendo wiis for her kids in this contest who could drink the most water in something like a half hour. She killed a gallon in 15 minutes and she ended up dying by drinking that much that fast. Are we going to outlaw water?

Fact is most people who take edibles don't go jumping over 4 story buildings,not to say it can't happen like that lady dying from drinking so much water,it's remotely possible. Is that a good reason to keep it as illegal as heroin?HELL NO

Those cookies are amazing. I ate one and it kicked in nicely, then they were so tasty I ate the other 2 and walked around downtown for a while. Never once did I attempt to fly out of a window or balcony.

Not that the user wasn't at fault, but it would make a lot more sense to make smaller cookies, and have each cookie contain enough THC for one dose. It's a little counter-intuitive to have 1 cookie contain six doses.

In Oregon we have color coded sticker dots for the level of potency as well as dosage on medical products. Colorado doesn't impress my standards coming from Oregon. For most users, 60mg is a small edible dose. I need close to 1g thc to feel anything edible, and don't retain a high from smoking.

It's stupid that they make cookies that are 1/6th of a dose.  Ultimately though the guys death was his own fault.  It's sad, but sometimes people die when they act like idiots.

Obviously mental issues were the key contributing factor, but that's easily over looked when drugs are involved for some reason.

Also not very much THC, maybe it's that I am also from OR but that is a really unimpressive amount of THC, and I would only consider that cookie as 2 doses.

I had a feeling the edibles were going to bring some bad attention to the legal marijuana scene. Inexperienced users make this mistake often, not realizing how potent edibles can be despite their slow onset. I think it would be a wise move for the businesses selling edibles to lower the THC content of each individual edible, so that things like this don't keep attracting bad attention to the legalization movement. It also makes more sense to me, personally. Who wants to divide a cookie into 6ths and eat 1/6th of it? Just make one cookie = one dose and then you get to eat a WHOLE cookie AND get stoned! :smile:



EDIT: After reading more carefully, yeah a 10mg cookie isn't that much. This guy most likely had some mental problems and just couldn't handle his shit. I still stand by my first paragraph, though. Better to be safe than to ruin marijuana legalization for everybody.

I've had 1/4 of a pot brownie that I'd bought from the local dispensary. Let me tell you, that shit was the best brownie I have ever eaten. It was hard not to want to go back and eat the whole damn thing. Since I'm a light weight I knew I shouldn't of eaten much. It did take a while to kick in but when it did, I was gone for about 9 hours no joke. I came out fine but people who are inexperienced really need to be educated on the dangers associated with these products.

I'm glad that it's legalized but it's like anything else, before you buy it, know the risks and know how to properly consume it. If everyone is educated about it and then decides to be stupid, that's their fault. People willingly buy cigarettes knowing that it can cause cancer but no one reports about that.

In a free society, one must assume personal responsibility for his/her actions. Sad for this kid, but he ought to have did his research about edibles...he would have known that they take a long time to kick in. It's always best to experiment with dosage incrementally, starting out with small threshold dosages and working your way up slowly. Also, know when to stay away from drugs: if you are depressed, suffering from mental illness or even just going through a rough time, it is most advisable to steer clear from drugs for the time being until things are better again.
I think that there are way too many people who disrespect marijuana and think "oh, it's just weed, I can smoke/eat as much as I want" but realise that it DOES alter your perception...Use it carefully like any drug under the proper circumstances for you. If you are a new user, use around friends who can help if need be. Some people have a difficult time even with mild psychedelics, and they should first start out with supervision.
Edibles should also contain precise information about onset time and duration of psychedelic effects. I don't know if this is the case already, but it really should be mandatory to provide thorough information about contents, dosage, side effects, precautions, onset time, duration, etc. That way, one is fully equipped to make a well-informed decision, and from that point, all misuse becomes the sole responsibility of the user.
I find that the media worsens things by instilling fear and misinformation about drugs; this stuff can come into play when you are experiencing these drugs and may cause unpleasant feelings and paranoia.
I think it is pretty harsh to say things like "Darwin took care of this one"...we all make stupid decisions in our lives, especially in youth. I'm sure many of us have made really dangerous, impulsive decisions, but most of us survive to gain wisdom from experience. Too bad that he didn't live to learn from his mistakes.
