Marijuana Infused Baked Goods - One Cookie Monster is Facing Hard Time

Ok.  Here is yet another example in the Tri-City Herald where the state has set a fine line with respect to the legalization of marijuana.  The man in the article, a medical marijuana user, eats marijuana infused cookies to ease his suffering.  Unfortunately, his farm was recently raided and he now faces serious time. 

I failed to address infused solid or liquid products in my second draft.  In addition to the 1 ounce of usable marijuana, it is also legal to have up to 16 ounces of marijuana infused solid goods (e.g., cookies, brownies, etc.) and up to 72 ounces of marijuana infused liquids – Ice-T anyone?

Do you think I should mention this in the final revision?  I knew people ate things that are infused with marijuana; however, I didn’t get much from my sources on it.  It would be interesting for Capt. Cobb to pull someone over and say, “Sir...I’ll need to test that brownie on your dash.”

I googled photos of these products and it is impossible to tell...except for the cookies shaped like a marijuana leaf...that kind of makes it obvious.  Apparently, there is cooking oil and all types of other products.  

The next time you find that someone has left a big piece of birthday cake or a batch of those irresistible chocolate chip cookies on your desk...straight to the trash!  In a state where this stuff is legal...I trust no one.

Thoughts?

Thanks again for the comments.

  1. Charles, I think you should slip it in if you have the space. Medical use often comes in a digestible form.

    Don Lyman, our fellow classmate, wrote on this subject too--he's a pharmacist and might be a good resource for information.
