Children and the Storage of Edibles

I’ll never forgive my industry for deciding that edibles needed to be in candy form. And those that blatantly rip off and copy cat packaging to make it look like cookies or candy should be tarred and feathered.

 

Cannabis especially edibles IS a highly potent drug and I like my Drugs to actually come packaged like drugs. It makes most people stop and think far more then a gummy or brownie would. These are 75mg so equal to 7 of my state limit single dose 10mg gummies. It's an ugly ride for an average adult if they ignore my warning to start with a 1/4 capsule and I imagine it would hospitalize a child

When I was growing up most parents kept the Liquor Cabinet locked even if they trusted their own kids as they have friends who may not be such little angels and it is best to keep temptation out of reach. It is a great place for your Cannabis and those prescription meds you likely have in the bathroom cabinet as well.

Those of us that wrench on Cars often have a rolling tool chest that is lockable if we can remember where the key is. It is what I used when we had kids visiting.

Agreed. That’s why I love the capsules. Not very enticing to youngsters.
We are planning to start wholesaling them in MT this month.

 

AMEN, GRANNY! Truer words never spoken.
I go to this dispo in Trenton sometimes, and I get gummies, cookies and juice (or eggnog once! ). But the cookies are called Monster Cookies and I think that's a chain of regular cookies if I'm not mistaken. They have Fruit Loops at this dispo too, and rice crispies treats. Point is, it's VERY easy to mistake these things for regular candy or juice. The packages are not clearly marked CANNABIS. The juice bottles don't say anything about Cannabis on them. So yeah, locking them up from kids is a must, but locking them up from adults in 12 step programs is also a must. Someone comes over, sees a bag of cookies not clearly marked cannabis, and they're the kind of friends and family who feel at home in your home. So they help themselves and then their sobriety is blown.
But yeah it is worse for kids! I can't imagine a newborn ingesting cannabis and... it's awful. Most important are the kids! Definitely I plan to lock everything up, even bud, if any friends with kids come visit me.

 

This news item took the cookie! went around the world many times, the anti weed are still pumping it

 

I can’t agree more with you all. Some friends ask me frequently to make gummies and so on… although I did it for my own personal experiments (I don’t have children), I never shared any of them - only alcohol tincture in dropper bottles or hash capsules. I mean - I don’t know any medication packaged as candy…

 

How long until they pass legislation that makes the packaging bland and nondiscript like cigarettes? I think it's necessary to stop confusion. I mean it's the exact same reasoning for the cigarette changes, it was to stop encouraging kids from smoking. It's why no candy is allowed to mimic cigarettes anymore.

With that being said, it's not just kids accidentally eating them. I've heard of plenty of adults eating those candies thinking they're regular candies.

Which story will end up with consequences?

 

I agree 100%..my 7 year old niece dumbass of a mom decided it was ok to leave out a pk of edible chocolate chip cookies..the pk looked like a regular chips ahoy pack..my 35lb niece ate the entire pk to herself, she ended up in icu for 3 days, they couldn't wake her, her bp dropped to scary levels, it affected her kidneys as well..like here in Canada cigarette packages have to be plain brown packages so it doesn't appeal to children BUT its ok to package edibles to LOOK EXACTLY LIKE kids treats ud buy at the store!! It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! And the scariest part, this was the 3rd incident that month of a child being brought in for edibles! I have nothing against anyone who chooses to buy these products but please please please if u have children in the home please be the responsible adult and make sure ur products are stored properly!! Its not that hard ppl!! thankfully my niece has been doing great since that incident but it very well could have been prevented from happening in the first place, remember kids don't stop to read packages..they look at that pack and all they see is yummy cookies!

 

I totally agree granny, if my niece that morning got up and saw actul bud left out whether it was in a package on not, im almost 100% positive she would never have eaten it or bothered with it in any which way..it doesn't look appealing nor does it smell like it would even remotely taste appealing..but she woke before her mom and of course she was hungry so when she saw that package of cookies well she grabbed them and never thought twice about it!
I've educated both my sons since very young ages and have never hidden that fact that I smoke weed..they are now 15 and 18, and both have experimented with their buddies, and neither of them like it at all..my youngest says he may one day try it again but not something he could be bothered with right now, my oldest just don't like how it makes him feel it at all..
But in saying that, no matter which form u have ur products in, especially if there is small children around, its up to us to keep these little ones safe!
