If you have kids, and edibles, don't have the kinds of edibles that look like candy. . . because kids will ALWAYS find the candy you thought you hid.

I think certain edibles like gummies are banned for recreational sale in CT for this reason. Maybe there's merit to a packaging law to prevent some of these accidents.

People could also do what responsible gun owners do and keep the thing you don't want your kids getting locked up.

Recreational sales will allow gummies and beverages. They currently are not allowed in the medical program.

I tried to find my source but haven't been able to. I saw a news interview with the owner of Fine Fettle where he said they'll be selling seltzers when recreational sales start, but not gummies because they're banned. I guess it'll be obvious next month if that's true.

I didn't realize gummies are banned for medical patients though, that's interesting. Do you know why?

CT banned all candy or gummies to deter it looking appealing to kids. CT also came up with crazy names that make it impossible to figure out wtf your smoking (OG Kush? No…you get Agoravex or some nonsense). Unfortunately, they seem to forget half the state has been driving to Mass for years, and Mass sells all the stuff CT said nope to. And as a random addition, “gas” man/men/women sell the nerd rope candy packaged ones pretty regularly…some even deliver! 🤣🤦‍♀️

I fully remember going through every single item my parents had when they weren’t home and I’ll tell you first hand there is no place you think is hidden well enough……… sauce: found dads vibrating cock ring (only registered to me what it was years later when I had a random memory pop up)

We should pass a law making it a felony if someone fails to secure edibles in a safe in a home that children reside in or frequent.

Alcohol too? How about cleaning supplies like bleach? Because you're going to have a lot of felonies to prove.

Yes, especially alcohol. Probably the most dangerous substance known to man.

I think enriched uranium is probably the most dangerous substance known to man. But if you're going to make it a felony when kids get into harmful things, you're going to be locking up a lot of people.

Potentially, but not actually. Alcohol directly kills 140,000 Americans every single year.

Tobacco kills almost 500,000 every year.

Yes, but the secondary affects of alcohol are widespread-domestic abuse, job loss, homelessness, reckless behavior, violence etc. tobacco doesn’t leaves wake of destruction.

And that's going to happen to a kid when dad doesn't lock the liquor cabinet? Homelessness? Job loss?

You need to lighten up. Go have a couple of gummies and binge watch the Twilight Zone.

Yes, it’s called addiction and that’s how it starts.

LOL. So let's start throwing people in jail because they have a couple cans of Coors in the fridge.That'll work.

The difference is that bleach doesn't look and taste like candy lmao. You could maybe argue the point for the sugary wine coolers but kids hate the taste of most liquor.

Yeah make everything a felony.

Being a Karen or a boomer should be a felony too.

Alcohol is more dangerous for kids to consume, it can easily kill them, especially hard alcohol.
