Virginia Mother Charged With Murder After 4-Year-Old Son Dies From Eating THC Gummies
A mother in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, faces felony murder and child neglect charges after her 4-year-old son died from eating marijuana-infused gummies earlier this year.
Investigators said Dorothy Annette Clements didn't get help soon enough for her son, Tanner Clements, when he was found unresponsive on May 6 at a home they were both visiting.
Tanner Clements died two days later.
Dorothy Annette Clements told a police detective that her son ate half of a CBD gummy and that she called poison control and was assured that he'd be OK, according to search warrant documents.
But the detective said she found an empty THC gummy jar in the house and toxicology results showed Tanner Clements had extremely high levels of THC in his system, documents say. THC is the active ingredient in marijuana that gets people high.
An autopsy found that THC caused the boy's death.
Investigators said he might have survived had Dorothy Annette Clements gotten help for him sooner.

Not to mention they used to smoke the leaves but now it's the buds which are way more potent to begin with.
Plus it was probably black market gummies with ridiculous THC content.

The 70s? Afaik originally it was only the leaves that were smoked, and the buds were cultivated later when they were lower in THC but i could be wrong becos decades of weed abuse made me![:marseygigaretard: :marseygigaretard:](/e/marseygigaretard.webp)

They rolled or put in bricks what's called a sugar leaf near the bud that contains a mild amount of THC

The only people who ever smoked the leaves are posers who have never smoked before

It’s just a plant. It’s not even addictive.

When your process for consuming marijuana resembles something you'd see in an alleyway behind 7-11, it's time for self-reflection.
