To quote one of her detractors in the article Modo “went all cookie monster” and ate a good portion of a bar meant to be cut into 16 peices. A more apt comparison would be the state induced by chugging a fifth of vodka.

What, you think it was only 6 hours?

This is hilarious. Liberal pro-pot elitist actually experiences the reality of dope rather than the propaganda.

[Renegade]

AHHHHHH!Opium dipped hash.A blast from the past!

[bgill]

But, but it was legalized because it is supposed to oh so very healthy and good for you!

[kevao]

Her brownies must have been made from “recreational” marijuana, not “medical” marijuana. /sarc

Too bad her trip didn’t include armies of CZJ’s.

[catfish1957]

I’m freakin’ out, man!

LOL, the first 10 minutes of Super Troopers may be the funniest scenes of all times. The latter 1 hr. 15 min. not as much.

[publius911]

Dowd pivots to talk about the dangers of pot overdoses and the "darker side of unleashing a drug as potent as marijuana on a horde of tourists of all ages and tolerance levels seeking a mellow buzz".

I know a young woman who "played" with marihuana since she was 15. As an incipient middle ager, this poor woman now wallows in the misery of her self imposed list of 24 mental and physical afflictions (she loves to play with and add to her list,) and has no goal in life other than soliciting pity and all manners of help and support. This is her existence 24/7/365, and the need for therapy is not on her radar.

She currently is on a downward spiral, and her current obsession is becoming a mother, assuring the further misery of her probably short life.

Why would anyone start that process deliberately? Or continue it in middle age?

Nothing says fun like a paranoid, hallucinating NYT columnist curled up on the bed for 8 hours unable to distinguish reality.

I suspect that the only thing she noticed different from her normal workday was that she wasn't curled up in her cushy NYTimes office, and THAT REALLY FREAKED HER OUT.

Dunno if you saw this ping. Dowd freaks out in Colorado hotel. Reefer Madness!

Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)

[MileHi]

Hmm. Read the label before you scarf the whole thing. 16 servings...

Think slamming a 5th of Jack Danials all at once would make you sick?

Libs shouldn’t have pointy objects either.

Hope yer good George!

[george76]

How is your new town ?

[MileHi]

Great. One mile from Pike Nat’l Forest, just finished the garage, saw a moose 30 minutes from here on a road trip this morning. Have a bit to get done before winter comes back...

[Hoosier-Daddy]

I was going to say, that that sound a lot like eating a whole gram of Nepalese Temple Ball...

... Or so I’ve heard.

> ate a bit too much of a marijuana-laced chocolate bar and proceeded to have a Valley-of-the-Dolls-style meltdown in her hotel room.

So, how could anyone tell the difference? ;’)

Good point.
