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.

If you take too much weed you'll feel paranoid/scared and moving around becomes difficult and heavy. This 4 year old probably had like 50 times more than you need to feel awful from weed, so it must've been terrible.

These kind of slow deaths are a fricking nightmare. Same thing with dying stuck in a cave (last IH video
), I'm not that claustrophobic but not being able to move is a fear I don't think I can get over of.

If you liked that here's another video about cave divers running out of oxygen 1 mile below the surface of the cave they were diving.

I don't know, getting way too high isn't a good feeling, definitely not ODing on happy feelings and not caring. Hopefully it knocked him out cold before it killed him.
