THE EFFECTS OF EDIBLE MARIJUANA

Many of us who tried a marijuana-infused cookie or brownie in the 
early 1970s can attest that it was not a recreational experience.

It was like some powerful sleeping pill/sedative with long-lasting 
effects. I was lethargic for at least eight hours. I regretted doing 
it that day and will not do it again.

These products belong behind the counter in a pharmaceutical setting, 
not on the shelf like a cookie or a muffin. Nor should they have any 
type of sweetener in them.

I can only imagine how unsettling it must feel at today's THC levels.
