Goodbye credibility.
Would someone be so kind as to provide the directions to the purveyor of the cannabis that Ms. Dowd partook inā¦it would be most helpful.

But the bottomline assessment?
And yet nobody died.
In itself a promo for the safety of MJ.

Are you trying to tell me that Maureen Dowd engaged in willful ignorance and disregarded the advice of an expert just so her column could be more sensational and polemic? That seems completely uncharacteristic of her! Iām only disappointed that Dowd didnāt devote a paragraph speculating on the testicle size of her tour guide.//

"We were somewhere around on the edge of xxxxx Boulder when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like āI feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should driveā¦ā And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to xxxx Cheyenne. And a voice was screaming: āHoly Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?ā
canāt figure out the strikethrough text thingeeā¦
Youāre assuming she actually took the drug. I think the clear implication from this article is that she made it up.
Try it like alcohol, straight is hard to get down, pop makes it easier, but you canāt drink a bottle or you die. Conditioning at itās worst?
Talk about a bad tripā¦
As far as iām concerned, sheās a lying heifer with zero credibility.
Aw, cāmon you guys! I may be just in my fifties but I recognize a Woodstock joke when I see one!
I think it was 586 who posted this in another āMaureen Dowd on Vacationā story but it is even more pertinent now:
Iāve smoked pot exactly twice, and was so straight-edge for most of my life that some of my college classmates genuinely believed I was a 21 Jump Street-style narc. And even I know that edibles are potent, unpredictable, and not for beginners.
Sure, what she described really could happen if she were dumb enough. Thatās not what nags at me. Iām just skeptical she actually bothered to run the experiment. What if sheād gotten a mild, pleasant high? Whereās the story in that?!
I have no idea if she smoked up, ate up, or mainlined heroin while she was in Colorado. Iām only tentatively assuming she was even in Colorado at this point. More and more this looks less like an outlier and more like a perfectly normal iteration of Dowdās usual M.O., āmake stuff up.ā
Maybe next sheāll gobble down an entire bottle of Tylenol, then pen a column on the danger of over-the-counter headache medicine.
For that she wouldnāt have time to write the column. The lethal dose of Tylenol is only 2-3 times the recommended dose. Luckily for her (perhaps not for us) itās vastly higher for mj.
Tylenolās website recs up to 3000mg daily max.
Doctors have informed me several times that 1300mg should be the max daily.
Thatās why in the past year-- the previous standard for prescribing Hydrocodone/Vicodin (5mg+500mg Acetaminophen; which accentuates the pain relief of the synthetic narcotic) has been changed to 10mg+325mg.
More than the 1300mg daily-- taken long-term can cause liver failure.
Seems as if the message is: Tylenol is more dangerous to your liver than hydrocodone.

Happens all the time. Newbie, doesnāt know what to expect, doesnāt take into consideration that digestion takes awhile and absorption rates for THC are different for everyone, doesnāt have any kind of resistance built up to the drug. Impatienceās sets in they eat to much and āviolaā they start seeing fairies and walls breathing and all manner of strange strange things happening. Kind of funny if you ask me
(Pssst? walla = voila)
