Just as most people have to suffer the seriously unpleasant effects of alcohol poisoning before they truly understand how to use that well known drug, so do people need to learn how to dose themselves on edibles. As one who suffered an MJ overdose more than 40 years ago, I have been absolutely gun shy around pot munchies. One of the best things that should come out of legalization is an understanding of dosage, regulated content and potency of edibles. I can't wait. I would love to be able to eat just enough to relax me to sleep. Roll on, reefer sanity! Paul Blakey via email - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
