Toddler Gets into Medical Marijuana cookies. Is stoned for days
[url=http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/07/03/12544508-grandmas-pot-cookies-land-california-toddler-in-hospital#comments]Article[/url]
Should the grandmother be charged with child endangerment?
Haha nope. The child was never in danger. You cannot overdose on marijuana. This story only gets bad rep because of the bad rep that marijuana has. Surely if the kid got into chew able vitamins because they tasted good nobody would be charged, it would just be an accident. But because medical marijuana is involved this is automatically "endangerment" even though the cookies were tucked away in the garage fridge.

Haha that's awesome.

Some balanced adult you grew up to be thanks to all the spanking; Wanting kids you don't know to be spanked, calling kids "fattys", and yelling at your own mother over something trivial. gg[/quote]It feels good, doesn't it? Being rebellious. That's why I'm here. You can say what you will to this adult, and act like you got it all figured out. I really don't care, and have given up on more than half of you.[/quote] Being rebellious? Lol get a grip, why not have some sane argument before belittling and acting superior. You haven't given up on anyone, you're just an immature child who, when faced with actual arguments, start bawling like a baby and run away. Also mentally unstable, from what I've gathered.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Swiftkillswitch3 What the Flood thinks: spanking is bad, pot is good. What I was raised on: spanking is a means of letting kids know the rules and pot is bad. I don't see how spanking is bad, and I don't see how pot is good. Flood has reverse logic.[/quote]But spanking isn't good, or at least I don't approve of it. Not to sound aloof, but I can't associate myself with people that think its okay to hit kids. I'm not talking like slaps on the wrists, I'm talking about people who legit BEAT their kids.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] All of humanity You've clearly have never dealt with a three year old for an extended amount of time. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jondoe4362 but I think the real problem is the parents, who should teach their children not to get into things they shouldn't.[/quote][/quote] My 3 year old nephew would know better. There are plenty of things around the house he knows not to touch. And my brother or any other family member would never allow him to be unattended in the garage. It is absolutely the parent's/grandma's fault.

How did this even make national news when you NEVER hear about all the cases of children getting into any other prescription drug. The news media today is so pathetic its sad. Real problems are completely ignored everyday to make room for crap like this.

Do you know what happened when I was a toddler and I took with out asking? I got whooped. If my Grandma had a stash, I certainly would not have ate it. IO feared the belt more than I wanted the sweets. Hence, I say: BEAT THE CHILDREN!!!![/quote]>3 year old >able to comprehend the implications of eating something he isn't supposed to PICK ONE.

Seriously? There are a million things more dangerous the kid could have done, he was never in any harm. The grandma was incredibly irresponsible leaving him unsupervised, but I think the real problem is the parents, who should teach their children not to get into things they shouldn't.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Swiftkillswitch3 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] funkbrotha10 [/quote] Flawed logic is flawed. Pot has way more toxins and far more devastating and brain-killing chemicals than any cigar/cigarette. The next above would be any type of crack/cocaine. Dental care is to ease the pain at the cost of having your child thrown out of it for his operation(s). Pot only does one thing near that level: calms you down whilst killing you.[/quote] Lol, no. Please do some research. Your ignorance is almost awe inspiring.

If you consume through eating it, marijuana has zero negative effects.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] funkbrotha10 Marijuana does not cause a lack of self discipline. Forming a habit of sitting around. smoking pot and eating might. But the drug itself does not do that. Also, when my kid goes to the dentist they give him laughing gas and he is high as a kite for the rest of the day. BAN DENTAL CARE! [/quote]Never said it would. I said it shows a lack of self discipline. A kid goes out and drinks alcohol when he's say 13. Does that not show a lack of self discipline? Same thing goes for marijuana. It doesn't apply much to this thread even though the grandma should be charged with criminal incompetence rather than child endangerment. I've been to the dentist plenty of times and never got high all day off the crap. You going to that dentist at the back of the dark alley?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MyNameIsCharlie [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Locke357 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MyNameIsCharlie[/quote]What's with being so uppity about corporal punishment lately Charlie? I tend to grow to resent your remarks insinuating that only the use of physical punishment can raise a well-adjusted child, given that I was raised without it.[/quote]Because I see a generation losing their self discipline from an early age. More so than anything said about my or my mother's generation. I know that similar things are said about every generation, but it seems so much more than at any other moment in history. Something is seriously wrong with the current generation. You can't deny it. Its true. I blame the parents (ie MY GENERATION) for keeping true in the "I'm not gonna spank My kids" mentality. We want to be your friends instead of your parents, and now we look at you and wonder how so many of you ended up so messed up.[/quote]I agree with Charlie. My generation is going on and being retarded in many ways. I don't care if you guys think or know that drugs are deadly or not. (like marijuana) or think that things like sex are simple pleasure objects. Those are your opinions or even your knowledge. However, my generation's losing self discipline in a lot of senses. Ten year olds are having sex. Families are effing going into incest and people are pushing drugs even stuff besides -blam!- to be legalized or they do it anyway. Be a kid and live a little. People with all the distractions my generation has now sex and drugs are not needed to have fun. Physical punishment should be used more often.

When I was a kid I breathed in second hand cigerette smoke 24 hours a day. My earliest memory was of thinking my parents were like dragons because they were constantly blowing smoke. I was driven for 8 hours strait at 5 years old with my father and a friend who chain smoked. It was cold out so the windows stayed closed. Seatbelts? HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! Pull them out of the truck, they get in the way. Child abuse used to be just a way of life.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] theHurtfulTurkey It's endangerment because marijuana is an illegal substance.[/quote]So if it was a pack of smokes and a bottle of rye then it wouldn't be endangerment? I tend to look at how harmful the subatance was. The THC in the cookies would leave the child within a day, as others have said nobody has ever overdosed on THC. If it was a bottle of drano that was left out and the kid died, then I could see some charges being laid but the grandmother would already feel so bad I'm not sure they'd file charges. Some things are only illegal because a certain government overreacted in an extreme way in the 1960s and for whatever reason will never be able to admit they made a mistake and/or prohibition of some things will just never work.
