Toddler Eats Grandma’s Pot Cookies, Rushed To Hospital

Posted: July 3, 2012

Little boy found his grandma's pot stash

A 3-year-old boy in Southern California awoke in the hospital over the weekend after accidentally stumbling upon (and eating) one of his grandmother’s marijuana-laced cookies.

When I say I love grandma’s cookies, this isn’t exactly what I have in mind.

The Murrietta Police Department said that the grandmother is fighting cancer and does indeed have a prescription for medical marijuana, which was prescribed to her to help her sleep and ease her pain. notes NY Daily. She baked the THC-laced cookies at some point last week, and stored them away from other foods in the house in a garage refrigerator. Murrieta police were summoned to the family’s house around 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 30, after the toddler slept for roughly 16 hours and would not wake up.

He was admitted to the hospital for observation and later released. The grandmother said that a small bite was enough to put her to sleep, and no one knows how much the child ate. “No one knows how much he ate,” said Sgt. Phil Gomez. The family believes that the child wandered into the garage from a side door while playing in the back yard. After that, he stumbled onto the cookies in the fridge, and the rest is now history. “It’s just kind of like the perfect storm,” Gomez said.

Aside from the cookie-eating incident, the police investigation seemed to indicate that the child was otherwise well-cared for, notes the Press-Enterprise. “It’s unfortunate that they didn’t take better steps to keep those cookies out of reach of the child,” said Gomez of the incident. The grandmother, who was unidentified, vowed to prevent the incident from happening again. “She claims she’s not going to make them ever again,” Gomez said.

    Then after hearing the cops talk about how dangerous marijuana is, he laughed and took a nap. The only reason this story got reported at all is because the mom needed 2 IV bags after the kid sucked out every last drop of milk in her body while mumbling something about cottonmouth, true story. What a joke. Pot doesn't even hurt a 3 year old but its so bad we need to rip your family apart and send you to prison. Don't forget to celebrate your "freedom" this 4th of July :)

    There was no immediate danger to the kid from this. I do see how the individual uninformed on the facts about Marijuana might be concerned following an excessive period of napping. But the fact of the matter is that THC doesn't have an overdose point. Or at least not one that can be reached.

    When smoked, an individual would have to smoke pounds of the plant within a fifteen minute window in order to reach a lethal level. THC is concentrated heavily in medicated cookies, but in order to bake an entire tray of brownies less than half an ounce of Cannabis has it's THC extracted. I will grant you that this information is not relative to a child's body, but nonetheless there is no way that the child could have been at any immediate risk even if he had consumed an entire plate of these cookies.

    I'd be more worried about all the sugar in them.
