These parents are ___________ (fill in your own derogotory phrase here.)

But the blond bimbo "news person" is totally whacked. It sounds like she's trying to stir up the mab of people and sell them the pitchforks and torches. The kid almost died? I think that may be an overstatement but if the hospital personel said it, I'll take their word for it. The bimbo said she had a 3 year old who wieghs 50 lbs. Is that normal? It sounds pretty heavy for a 3 year old. Too many crispie treats I guess.

Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

Did you catch the last part where she is getting chastised for saying Pee Test?

I have to dig in on this - but it is one of the most important reasons that I avoid CNN.

A quick google search indicated that there has never been a death attributed solely to marijuana overdose, and that the amount of marijuana it would take to overdose at all is astronomically high. I don't doubt that the child in the story needed medical attention, but it seems unlikely that the child was near death.

By the way, I did a Google news search on this incident, and the only report that indicated that the child was near death was the one from Nancy Grace. She has a history of blowing things out of proportion, and you really shouldn't take her seriously.

>> The kid almost died!

So being "lethargic" and having "blood shot eyes" is fatal now? I should have gotten more sleep last night because I'm clearly putting my life in danger right now.

Not saying these people are going to win parent of the year awards, but would Nancy Grace have been so pissed if a 4 year old would have gotten a hold of enough alcohol to cause slurred speech?

Peace, love and hoppiness

Well - by all means we should be giving our kids a little help sleeping now then shouldn't we?

Anyone else think this MIGHT be a bit of an overreaction.. and a politically motivated story pertaining to the referendum in California???

I was reading the list of "life threatening" effects the child was suffering and was thinking.... DUUUDE.. people do pot specifically to get those effects.

I have seen some of the crap that the Alcohol lobby is posting about the marijuana referendum... of COURSE they are against it.

My step brother overdosed on alcohol with the help of a bartender who was watering down his buddies shots and giving Donnie straight vodka.. and Donnie died

Nancy Grace is a former persecutor... her political agenda is to support a corrupt LEO community that has benefited all out of proportion in the war on drugs... as has she.

The parents... need to keep their stash away from the kid... just as responsible parents keep their kids out of the booze cabinet.. no difference.. R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y

I'm sure in your world that may be acceptable, I hope not, but I know it is not in mine.
Question: How many medical surveys have been done using THC and fatal doses on toddlers? Do you think that there may be a little bit of physiological differences compared to adults or even adolescents?

Ahhh you can be sure that i do not like to kill babies turtle.


With THC There is no such thing as an OD. With marijuana the worst that can happen is you pass out fall asleep. That’s it.


My point was that the weed will not kill the kid, but under the its effects specially a child who has no idea what is happening to him/her I can see the child getting in to trouble and even p[possibly die. Like get hit by a train.

I think it's that both are things that adults can enjoy, and that responsible adults should keep out of the reach of children.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Not many - because no one has seen THC kill a toddler, and no one is willing to do the testing.

Unfortunately, there have been a great many uncontrolled tests on the reaction of children to alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine etc and we do know that those substances can indeed be fatal.

CAMDEN Miss. — An autopsy shows an 11-month-old baby died of alcohol poisoning and now his mother faces a murder charge, authorities say.

The 11-month-old boy had a blood alcohol level of .4 percent when he died on May 11, officials said.
====
The district attorney in Wyoming County now plans to file charges against the parents of a baby who died in 2007.

A year-long investigation has determined the six-month-old baby died of alcohol poisoning.

It's been more than a year since little Mason Miner lived in anapartment near Tunkhannock. The district attorney said lab results show the child's blood alcohol content was .205 and that the child had the equivalent of a can of beer, a glass of wine or a shot of liquor.

I was speaking to your flippant attitude about the CHILD being dosed with a drug, not anything about a train.

Quote

Show me medical evidence that the same amount of THC an adult can handle, is the same that a child can. Other than that, you are just hoping and guessing.

A glass of wine compared to body weight and blood volume is quite deadly to a small enough child. An adult can drink several bottles of wine.

You keep telling yourself that.

you mean it does nothing to the growing body of a toddler? No effect on te reproductive or cognitive functions? It sounds like you _ ARE _ OK with the kid being dosed, as there will be no harm to the child, in your opinion.

The above is why I think you don't have a problem with the kid being dosed, as long as he/she is supervised.

Tell me what the acceptable dose would be. Tell me what the maximum dose is. Tell me where there are guidelines to follow. I would like to be as sure as you are.

Wait, I thought you were being facetious at first and just posting this to demonstrate how much of a waste of oxygen Nancy Grace is.

Obviously dosing a kid is a horrible idea, just like with any psychoactive or psychotropic substance I'm going to argue that's a a no-go for the developing mind.

But are you implying this kids life was actually in any danger from eating an old rice krispy treat with some pot in it?

I'm saying there is no way to know how much danger he was in, or still is in. No one knows what the effects of his exposure will be - we may never know.

For all we know - the decision to stash the old brownies and the irresponsibility could be directly related to the parents being exposed to something similar when they were his age.

That's really an unfair way to argue. In your initial post, you asserted that the child almost died. Others have argued against your position. The burden is therefore now on you to provide evidence in support of your position. So, what evidence do you have that this child's life was in danger?

We are all aware that the child was taken to a hospital. But it does not necessarily follow that the child was in danger of dying. So let's see the evidence in support of your position. A rant by Nancy Grace doesn't count, by the way.

I paraphrased what the reported said.

Who would have thought it to be potentially untrue, I mean it was on the CNN website.

I don't know which side she's on...I would like to call them all morons, but I'm sure they are all quite intelligent and it's all for ratings. What's truely sad is what goes for "news" in this country.
