No, no you won't. Not unless you're consuming quite a strong dose. In the case of this meal, it sounds like writer barely felt the effects, and being someone that hadn't "sampled" marijuana for years, he had no tolerance. “Scary stuff, ’cause I’ve read that when ingested and digested, you’ll be intensely stoned for at least 8 hours.”

She's an awesome person & I'm glad she's getting noticed for this book. Xeni, I've suggested to appropriate parties that you ought to be interviewed for HIGH TIMES or its sister publication, MEDICAL MARIJUANA. I may be able to speed the process by doing it myself; I'll be in touch about it. After that, I'm sure you'll have to flog off invites to such parties with a stick. Hooray for Elise!

Even if we could afford to put anti-narcotic police on every single street corner, we also know that at least half of them would soon become dealers themselves. Gifting the market in narcotics to ruthless criminals, foreign terrorists and corrupt law enforcement officials is seriously compromising our future.   We simply cannot continue with a policy that has proven itself to be a poison in the veins of practically every free nation on this planet. Even if you cannot bear the thought of people using drugs, there is absolutely nothing you, or any government, can do to stop them. We have spent 40 years and trillions of dollars on this dangerous farce; Prohibition will not suddenly and miraculously start showing different results.  Do you actually believe you may personally have something to lose If we were to begin basing drug policy on science & logic instead of ignorance, hate and lies? Maybe you're a police officer, a prison guard or a local/national politician. Possibly you're scared of losing employment, overtime-pay, the many kick-backs and those regular fat bribes.
