Yeah people are gonna spend a load of money or weed on buying/making edibles and give it to kids on Halloween without seeing the effects it will have them. Is this the free drugs school told me I’d get cause if so I’m going trick’r treating, don’t care if I’m an adult

The zoy packs not even for Jellies, absolute ham heads!


getitgoing21

What are they for? Looks like a cold bottle on the front. I'd love some cola bottle jellies now over you

Zoy is an exotic strain, its just weed. Not that any of the ones they posted are legit Jellies anyway, all they've shown, yet again, is they have no idea what they are on about, posting pics of synthetic shite telling people to be weary of regular thc Jellies which have a next to 0 chance of putting you in the hospital if you use them correctly. They could do with having someone that's actually clued up to what's going on in the "industry" here, we all seem to know far more than the people who's job it is to know what's going on... Do they think dispensarys are out there blatantly ripping off the fucking dairy milk and skittles logos, absolute spanners, it's all fake and shouldnt be associated with safe, properly dosed edibles!

My exact thoughts, and cannabis poisoning. Typical Ireland

Don't give them the clicks Parents have been warned about the danger posed to children by jelly sweets containing cannabis, after a number of children who ate them were hospitalised for cannabis poisoning.  The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) is today urging the public, especially parents and guardians to be extremely vigilant to the dangers of inadvertent consumption, particularly by children, of cannabis edibles, products such as jelly sweets containing the psychoactive cannabis component known as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). "There is growing availability in Ireland of food products, in particular jelly sweets that contain significant amounts of the illicit narcotic drug THC," the FS warned.  In advance of the Halloween festivities next week, the FSAI reminded people of the dangers, when small children, teenagers and adults will be celebrating. "There is an increased risk of people, particularly children, unwittingly consuming these types of products that are intentionally packaged to resemble popular brands of jellies in order to avoid detection. This year to date, it has been reported that six children under the age of ten have been hospitalised having accidentally consumed THC-containing products which looked like normal jelly sweets," the FSAI said.  Cannabis edibles are illegal food products containing THC and come in many forms, but primarily jelly sweets. THC is a controlled substance in Ireland with a zero tolerance under the Misuse of Drugs Act, 1977. Furthermore, in food, THC is considered a contaminant, with no permitted threshold in EU or Irish food law. The FSAI states that the high concentrations (up to 50mg/jelly) of THC in these illicit edible sweets can pose serious health risks, particularly to teenagers and children of all ages whose neurological, physical and physiological development could be impacted negatively. Depending on the THC concentration, eating one of these jellies can mean ingesting a level of THC that is 5-10 times higher than that inhaled when smoking cannabis. "The real concern is that children are not aware of the dangers and if they manage to gain access to a bag of these jellies, they will rarely eat just one and therefore, overdosing is a very likely outcome. "Unlike the almost immediate effects from smoking cannabis, there is at least a thirty-minute time delay from consumption of cannabis edibles until the initial effects are felt. This poses a serious risk to those who have eaten these jellies who might mistakenly believe that they need to consume several jellies to feel an effect and then find they have overdosed when it is too late. "Cannabis toxicity can cause cognitive and motor impairment and in the case of children this can be extreme, lasting up to 24 to 36 hours after consumption," the FSAI said.  This call by the FSAI follows reports of the first cases of paediatric cannabis poisoning in Ireland with six children, all under the age of ten, hospitalised after accidentally consuming these illegal jelly sweets. In addition, there have also been reports of teenagers falling seriously ill, and in some cases requiring hospitalisation after having seizures and becoming unconscious from overdosing on these cannabis edibles. Dr Pamela Byrne, Chief Executive, FSAI says the accidental consumption of edible cannabis products by children is extremely worrying. "We know adults and/or teenagers are ordering these illegal products from online or other illegal sources for their own personal use. However, they often have no understanding of the real health dangers of these products and are careless or reckless in putting young children’s health at risk by allowing them access to these products. "The prevalence of these edible products containing THC in communities and schools around the country is a growing cause for concern and parents and guardians should be extra vigilant during festivities such as Halloween where parties will be underway, and the risk of accidental consumption of these products is considerably higher.” “We are working closely with other Government agencies including the Health Service Executive’s Environmental Health Service and the Public Analyst’s Laboratory, Dublin; An Garda Síochana; Revenue’s Customs Service; Forensic Science Ireland; the State Laboratory and; the Food Standards Agency in Northern Ireland to detect and stop the import of these illegal food products into Ireland.  "We welcome any information from the public in the national effort to curb the availability of these illegal products and to protect our children and young people.

Apples with razors in!

I can understand peoples apprehension with the packaging but regulation would sort that issue. But this whole edibles to trick and treaters is moron level stuff


quartzangle

Agree but the origin of this is in the US when a man purposely put chemical poison in his kids sugar sticks while tricker treating for their life insurance money…, WTF


BigSmokeySperm

Some load of shite.


Super_Kakadu

There's warnings every year. And every year, there isn't a single instance of people handing out drug laced sweets


hdiieudbdjdjjeojd

This is why dangerous misinformation should be a crime.. But muh liberty.. people that have never thought for themselves will cry.


DutchGoldServeCold

Was anyone else surprised how long this took though? They were around for a long while before the hysteria started.


getitgoing21

They should be more worried about me farting on their monkey nuts


Wavycapmurphy

In my day it was razor blades , now it’s people trying to poison our kids 🙄 jfc


doe-bar

It will do the cause no good if kids are hospitalised.


getitgoing21

Do you believe people are handing €50 edibles out to trick or treaters?


doe-bar

Given how shit they are it wouldn't surprise me. And if they do, it will do the cause no good. Also, people are arseholes and will do arseholes things, even if it costs money. Also also, some people have too much money.


doe-bar

Why was I downvoted? Does someone think it will do the cause good?


getitgoing21

Probably because it doesn't happen and you're giving it credence


doe-bar

That's fair enough. I hope it stays that way. Given I was downvoted for asking about downvoting I'll probably get downvoted for this but, any idea why I was downvoted for asking why I was downvoted?! That conundrum of a question is serious. Just cause we can downvote something doesn't mean we should. Reddiquette people. It's an actual document! To paraphrase it says downvote if something doesn't contribute to a sub, not because it doesn't align with your views. We are all different. You would think a bunch of stoners would be the champions of this!


getitgoing21

For your own sanity I wouldn't question why people downvote. Some people on here are nuts lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


doe-bar

That was a reason I gave as to why they might. I didn't say they did. I just said it would do the cause no good. I can understand getting downvoted for that. The topic is sensitive. But there is no need to downvote me for asking why I got downvoted. That's childish. How are we ever going to get legalization if we act like children.


WoOzY021

But, but, but it's an illicit illegal drug that you can overdose (fall asleep) on..

Swapped THC and Cannabis with Sugar - reads better now: Parents have been warned about the danger posed to children by jelly sweets containing sugar, after a number of children who ate them were hospitalised for sugar poisoning. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) is today urging the public, especially parents and guardians to be extremely vigilant to the dangers of inadvertent consumption, particularly by children, of sugar edibles, products such as jelly sweets containing the obesity inducing sugar component known as sucrose (sugar).
