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.

Nononono, there are ZERO people in that thread that mention their ever increasing tolerance and ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THEM will seek out harder drugs to get their kick back, no sir. It's ONLY a gateway when you have to buy it illegally and thusly meet people that FORCE their hard stuff on you!

Eh, I don't like getting too high. Dabs are too much (effort, apparatus, high, etc) and I don't want to spend 60 an eighth of some crazy bud either.
I'm happy smoking a joint and playing music.![:marseyjamming: :marseyjamming:](/e/marseyjamming.webp)
Hard drugs are fun but benders lose their luster after a while... Or at least it did for me.

Weed can be very harmful by itself. It can completely wreck someone's mental state and induce psicosis.
