What do you think?

CBC story: "Impact of high-potency cannabis rippling through courts, health-care system":
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoo ... -1.7564340

Quote:
"Then there are Marvin's cherry-flavoured edibles. Fox says his co-worker calls this the 'talking to God' section of the store. For just under $100, Marvin's edibles pack 8,000 mg of THC into four candies. That's 2,000 mg of THC in each gummy — 200 times stronger than the federal standard.

Fox has worked at the trailer for just over two years. An experienced cannabis consumer, he said he's tried the higher end products.

"The most I've taken was 1,500 milligrams. I was high for three days," he said."
...
"The Saskatchewan Health Authority reports that the number of visits to hospital emergency departments across the province by people with cannabis-related psychosis has been increasing year to year, from 116 people in 2022 to 152 in 2023 to 165 in 2024."
