to be gone for this exact reason. Let's legalize it, but be responsible how we do it.

it's kind of tin foil hatty of me, but it almost seems intentional.
have this method that is easily marketed for kids and use it for negotiation when it comes to legalization.
legalization happens, gov't gets a victory in the name of the kids, and the show goes on

Yeah! So much better to inhale carcinogenic smoke with uncontrolled quantities of THC and CBD along with hundreds of harmful combustion bi products instead of a controlled dosage of THC and CBD in an easily metabolized and safely consumable tasty treat!

Do you think they were hospitalized for no reason?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK430823/
The initial state of acute intoxication formulates the symptoms that recreational users enjoy: euphoria, perception alterations such as time and spatial distortion, intensification of ordinary sensory experiences, and motor impairment. Not all effects of cannabis intoxication are welcomed by users, as some experience unpleasant psychological reactions such as panic, fear, or depression. Acute intoxication also affects the heart and vascular system, resulting in cannabis-induced tachycardia and postural hypotension. CNS and respiratory depression have been noted with high doses in animal models. Studies show that inhaled doses of 2 to 3 mg of THC and ingested doses of 5 to 20 mg THC can cause impairment of attention, memory, executive functioning, and short-term memory. Doses > 7.5 mg/m2 inhaled in adults and oral doses from 5 to 300 mg in pediatrics can produce more severe symptoms such as hypotension, panic, anxiety, myoclonic jerking/hyperkinesis, delirium, respiratory depression, and ataxia. Conjunctivitis is a consistent physical exam finding regardless of the route of administration. In children, neurological abnormalities such as lethargy and hyperkinesis can be signs of life-threatening toxicity. Although acute toxicity is uncommon in non-pediatric patients, those who come to medical attention are more likely to have hyperemesis, behavioral problems or a medical emergency such as bronchospasm due to inhalation. There is disagreement about how long these impairments persist after taking cannabis, ranging from hours to days. Chronic use may lead to long-term effects on cognitive performance, "Amotivational syndrome" (loss of energy and a will to work), and respiratory disorders. There have also been various reports of patients presenting with cyclic vomiting syndrome/cannabinoid hyperemesis. Cannabis intoxication can lead to acute psychosis in many individuals and can produce short-term exacerbations of pre-existing psychotic diseases such as schizophrenia. Psychiatric symptoms observed in some studies include depersonalization, fear of dying, irrational panic, and paranoid ideas.
...
Most adolescents and adults do not warrant testing for diagnosis or treatment of cannabis intoxication. If chest pain is present, it is reasonable to obtain a 12-lead electrocardiogram and possibly cardiac markers to assess for myocardial ischemia or infarction, as there is thought to be an elevated risk up to 4.8 times for MI within 1 hour of marijuana use. Patients with toxic ingestion should also be screened for co-ingestion, especially if electrolyte abnormalities or OTc or QRS prolongation is noted on EKG. Some patients, particularly children, may require further testing if exposure is unknown, including rapid blood glucose, electrolytes, blood gas analysis, and neuroimaging (e.g., computed tomography of the head). Neuroimaging should be avoided in known cannabis exposures unless focal neurologic findings are also present or concerns for other etiologies such as head trauma exist.
The treatment for marijuana intoxication is symptomatic management. The extent of management has numerous factors, including an age of individual and amount of cannabis ingested. There have been several cases of accidental cannabis poisoning in a geriatric patient resulting in intensive care admissions due to central nervous system depression. Unintentional ingestion by children has also resulted in similar admissions. In cannabis-induced psychotic disorders, safe cannabis detoxication typically requires 24 hours, but sometimes longer if persistent psychosis or unstable vital signs occur.

Safety Questions
The myth that cannabis is a completely safe drug is just that—a myth. While a recreational user might say that the greatest danger of being under the influence is downing a whole bag of Cheetos, we can’t forget the under the influence part.
A large majority of medical cannabis treatments still retain the substance’s psychotropic properties. In plain English, they will make you high. That state of euphoria is one of the leading factors considered by Jerrold Leikin, MD, director of medical toxicology at NorthShore University HealthSystem–OMEGA and a medical toxicologist serving as a consultant to both the Illinois and Wisconsin poison centers.
Cannabis poisoning-related incidents have been on the rise since 2001, Leikin says. In Colorado, pediatric-related poison center calls relating to unintentional exposure to cannabis have almost quadrupled (from seven calls in 2001 to 26 calls in 2013), and all cannabis-related poison center calls in the state rose from 61 in 2012 to 151 in 2014.
Despite those escalating numbers, the National Poison Data System’s 2013 annual report cites 26 cannabis-related deaths in that year, with only two of those deaths reporting single-substance exposure to cannabis (in other words, there were no other drugs found in the person’s system).
Are these small numbers cause for concern, considering there were a combined 111 deaths attributed to single-substance exposure to sedatives, hypnotics, antipsychotics, cardiovascular drugs and opioids? It’s enough to make medical toxicologists continue their studies and hope patients and physicians come to the medical cannabis conversation armed with better questions and strict monitoring protocols.

I bet more people died from aspirin poisoning than from weed.

You realize if you call the pediatrician's office and say,

[ in reply to Do you think they were hospitalized for no reason? ] |

"Hello, my child won't stop watching spongebob, eating cheez-its and doritos and making comments about the color blue and perception. He's also got a very dry mouth."
They will say, "Take him to the ER"
And if you take him to the ER, they are going to do a tox screen.
And if they do a tox screen, they are going to find THC.
If they find THC, it becomes a mandatory report and hold in most states.
So these could be mostly kids that were hospitalized for being too chill.

You can't outlaw everything. And weed not being legal at this point is just stupid.
And I know even smoke weed.

those things are made to have THC in them.
Laced sounds like the kid took regular gummies and dipped them in THC oil and then gave them to unsuspecting victims (I don't know if the kids had knowledge of the THC or not)
