It seems that even marijuana growers are health conscious these days. While tobacco use continues to decline in North America as a direct result of laws and legislation that prohibit smoking in public places not to mention the growing awareness of the health risks associated with puffing on a cigarette, some marijuana growers and dealers have concluded that marketing their product for use in the traditional rolled cigarette joint will lead to eventual sales declines.

Enter the gumball. These gumballs however are not your typical candy-coated chewing gum but instead are packed with as much as 1 gram of high-grade marijuana. Following the recent discovery and seizure by Maryland police of two weed-packed yellow gumballs imprinted with a happy face, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) in May of this year released an Intellingence Alert Bulletin titled, "Greenades" (Marijuana Gumballs) in Howard County, Maryland.

According to the DEA and the Maryland State Police-Forensic Sciences Division Laboratory, each gumball is bright yellow with a happy face on one side and a " bored hole filled with greenish-brown vegetable matter" on the opposite side. The two gumballs were individually wrapped in tin foil which contained a label. Printed on the label is the word 'Greenades' and an image of a marijuana leaf. Toward the top of the label is printed '100% Pure Marijuana Extract'.

Also on the label can be found detailed instructions on how to use the gumball: “Take 30mins -1 hr before you would like receive your high” (and) “Chew for as long as possible, then swallow.”

Police are warning the public that Greenade gumballs contain enough THC to kill smaller children and caution parents to be on the alert for innocuous-looking hard-coated candies which could be brought into the home by drug-using older children.

If you ingest it, the THC releases into your bloodstream through natural digestive processes. That's why if you eat marijuana you will get high.

Man, why do I have the feeling that if any of us had those we'd be trying to see how many we could eat before passing out? haha.

There is no lethal dose of THC. It doesnt effect respiration or heart rate, there is no way to titrate a dosage concentrated enough to kill any anyone. I fucked up once and accidentaly let my 20 pound pug puppy eat like 4 grams worth of dank brownies. He slept for 12 hours but woke up feeling perfectly fine. No one in the history of the world has died from injesting THC. Did I miss something? Is this a "joke" story? Are the police saying there was crank, or heroin or something in the gumballs along with the THC?

Sorry but I think your mistaken, THC has to be heated and mixed with a fat such as butter or veg oil to produce the desired effect. The human dijestive system is not optimized (like a cows stomache) to break down the vegetative matter to produce a high.
