R 604.C.3. The size of a Standardized Serving Of Marijuana shall be no more than 10mg of active THC. A Retail Marijuana Products Manufacturing Facility that manufactures Edible Retail Marijuana Product shall determine the total number of Standardized Servings Of Marijuana for each product that it manufactures. No individual Edible Retail Marijuana Product unit for sale shall contain more than 100 milligrams of active THC.

4. The following information must be documented in the standard production procedures for each Edible Retail Marijuana Product: the amount in milligrams of Standardized Serving Of Marijuana, the total number of Standardized Servings Of Marijuana, and the total amount of active THC contained within the product.

5. Multiple-Serving Edible Retail Mar ijuana Product. A Retail Marijuana Products Manufacturing Facility must ensure that each single Standardized Serving Of Marijuana of a Multiple-Serving Edible Retail Marijuana Product is physically demarked in a way that enables a reasonable person to intuitively determine how much of the product constitutes a single serving of active THC. Each demarked Standardized Serving Of Marijuana must be easily separable in order to allow an average person 21 years of age and over to physically separate, with minimal effort, individual servings of the product.

You prove my point again. The package of Frankenpot brownie and it consists of 10 doses that must be measured out in 10 milligram doses. How impossible is that plus Famous Last Words....”I dont feel anything yet. Let me have another chunk”.

Then they jump in a car and crash it because they become comatose while driving. http://www.monroemonitor.com/2014/06/03/woman-arrested-five-car-crash-driving-marijuana/

it consists of 10 doses that must be measured out in 10 milligram doses.

Still wrong - the user need do no milligram measuring. "The size of a Standardized Serving Of Marijuana shall be no more than 10mg of active THC. [...] A Retail Marijuana Products Manufacturing Facility must ensure that each single Standardized Serving Of Marijuana [...] is physically demarked in a way that enables a reasonable person to intuitively determine how much of the product constitutes a single serving of active THC. Each demarked Standardized Serving Of Marijuana must be easily separable in order to allow an average person 21 years of age and over to physically separate, with minimal effort, individual servings of the product."

Famous Last Words...."I dont feel anything yet. Let me have another chunk".

Only in a legal regulated market can wait-X-minutes labeling for edibles be effectively required; the truth remains opposite to your claim, 'Legalizing marijuana presents more "strength" problems than prohibition.'

Make up your mind.

Your earlier quoted:

“No individual Edible Retail Marijuana Product unit for sale shall contain more than 100 milligrams of active THC.”

[ConservingFreedom]

No contradiction - an "Edible Retail Marijuana Product unit" can contain multiple "Standardized Servings Of Marijuana."

Thanks for proving my point again. Someone gets a brownie with 10 doses and has no idea how much to eat. If they eat the whole thing, it could be fatal.

Still wrong. Your functional illiteracy is not my problem.

"Ms Moss had suffered with depression, which itself increases the risk of sudden cardiac death. It is quite plausible that the additional small stress caused by that cannabis joint triggered a one-in-a-million cardiac event, just as has been more frequently recorded from sport, sex, saunas and even straining on the toilet. 

"There are good reasons that most of us choose not to use cannabis, and that most of the rest do so infrequently. You can get arrested, some become dependent on it to relax, it can make you cough and wheeze, feel less sharp than you could be, or more anxious, and a cannabis habit can be a barrier to achievement. The risk of sudden cardiac death has no place on the list of sensible reasons to avoid or cut down cannabis use. As with cannabis, there is a long list of reasons someone might want to avoid or cut down on visits to McDonalds for example, but a single freak fatality caused by such a visit is not one of them.

"The question of whether cannabis killed one individual may be significant for the family concerned but it is not useful for exploring the essential scientific, political and personal questions about each drug's capacity to injure and kill. To answer that, you need data from thousands of people, to distinguish harm from freak events. Coincidentally, buried on page 20 of the same edition of the Metro, three lines of text allude to a new study on alcohol that provides a striking example from a study of 151,000 people. It found that one in four Russian men are dead before they reach 55, most of them killed by alcohol."

Keep whistling past the graveyard.

We spend billions on controlling booze consumption and zero on legalized pot. People are turning into zombies and jumping off roofs and murdering people.

I'm all for encouraging moderation in use (though I don't know that we need to spend billions to do it) - but hysterical exaggerations of risk do little to serve that end and may even be counterproductive ... remember the boy who cried wolf.
