A member asked:
Is marijuana more dangerous if you smoke it or if you eat it (e.g. pot brownies)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Danger Pot Brownies: Ingesting THC infused foods is more dangerous. With smoking euphoria is stated to be within 3-10 minutes vs ingestion is within 1-3 hours. Users get inpatient when eating; therefore, they'll eat more THC infused foods back to back. THC then stacks up in blood stream. Regulation of THC in foods is not standardized and therefore the risk of OD is even higher!! Psychosis, hallucinations, etc.
