The Nottawasaga OPP is warning the public about the unique effects of cannabis edibles after a teen was taken to a local area hospital on Friday after consuming a cannabis edible. The OPP would like to remind the community that it is a criminal offence to give or sell cannabis to a person under the age of 18.
Unlike cannabis products intended for inhalation, edibles have a more intense effect on the user, as well as an extended delay between consumption and reaction. The combination of delayed effect and increased potency can potentially cause those unfamiliar with edibles to over-consume.
I have been desperately trying to get medical professionals, in my region, to realize that the ingestion of a few black peppercorns can alleviate negative THC experiences via the Interactions with this terpene, but very few will even consider listening.
Instead, ER units in Canada are currently dispensing antipsychotics for the treatment of excessive THC ingestion and I fear that often the antipsychotics are causing more problems than the THC itself.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if they could just develop a caryophyllene Nasal spray to address the issue of overuse of THC?
