Have you ever heard about these foods infused cannabis? I tried frozen yogurt infused cannabis before and it really tastes good! and now, there's new and something interesting! On the other hand, Ingesting Cannabis has a side effect that can lead you addiction because of its high dosage that you'll never know how much dosage that food has. By continually do researching, I came across in this article about strains <<<COMMERCIAL LINK REMOVED >>>

Cannabis-infused foods are currently illegal in Australia.

But I heard of a seminar where they purchased some cannabis-infused chocolates from somewhere such things are legal.

As I recall, three people ended up in the emergency ward at the local hospital, in a 24 hour period. By the third patient they thought they were dealing with a contagious condition, but eventually traced it to to the chocolate.  They read enough of the name from the chocolate sample they obtained to identify what it was...

I also heard of someone whose parents ran a cheesecake franchise. He made himself a cannabis-infused cheesecake, which accidentally got sold to a customer. The customer ended up in hospital, and and the parents lost their franchise.

I guess it's important to know exactly what you are eating and drinking, or the results can be rather unexpectedly unpleasant...

None of the active compounds in cannabis are toxic in the sense that they do direct bodily harm by chemical means (it is nearly impossible to ingest a lethal quantity of cannabis by eating or smoking it--LD₅₀ values are about the same as sugar). However, high dosages can cause extreme psychological distress, especially in people who don't know that they have consumed a mind-altering substance--they may think that they are going insane or dying (hence the ER visits). Like alcohol, the effects of intoxication can also lead to dangerous behaviors (either doing stupid things that are dangerous whether intoxicated or not, or doing things that would be safe while sober, but become dangerous when intoxicated--like driving or using power tools!)

Cannabis infused foods are also particularly likely to lead to negative outcomes (as compared to smoking), even in those who purposefully ingest them. There are three main reasons for this:

1) The pharmacology ends up being quite different for ingested vs smoked thc. Inhaled thc goes pretty much straight to the brain, where it acts on receptors as thc. A significant portion of ingested thc gets partially metabolised by the liver before it gets to the brain. One of the metabolites (I believe it is the 11-hydroxy-thc) is both more potent, and longer lasting than just thc.

2) It is much easier to consume large doses by ingestion than by smoking. Partly because smoking destroys a significant amount of the active components, and partly because it is trivial to eat a few hundred mg of (or even a few grams) of active components mixed into a brownie (or whatever), whereas getting the same amount of active components from smoking could require smoking at least 10 grams of materials (think of smoking a whole pack of cigarets in one sitting--yuck!)

3) It is easier to adjust dosage while smoking because the effects begin to manifest within seconds, and peak within a matter of minutes--allowing the user to start out small, and increase dosage by small increments until the desired level of intoxication is achieved. When ingested, it can take anywhere from half an hour to three hours (depending on stomach contents, dosage, and tolerance) for the effects to manifest, and several hours for the peak. Impatient users may redose before the effects manifest or before peak (even if they have already taken more than they want), ultimately setting themselves up for a very bad time.

NOTE: smoking (anything) is unhealthy, cannabis is still illegal in most parts of the world, and there are some studies that indicate negative long terms effects from chronic use (also, without proper regulation, it is hard/impossible to know what is actually being ingested/smoked/vaporized)

Have you ever heard about these foods infused cannabis?

You could always go to Amsterdam and try tasting some of the cookies legally available in the Cafes.

Cannabis may be linked with early onset Schizophrenia, in those that are likely to develop the illness. I dont appear to be able to post external links, for some reason, but if you want more info you can google it.
If your one of your parents have schizophrenia, it is not a good idea to take cannabis.

I am very interested in this matter. But still did not get into something

You might also want to look into the role of dopamine in schizophrenia and parkinsons disease. The medication for one can cause the other.

Cannabis is also used by some people with Parkinsons to alleviate the symptons. Also Cannabis may be a trigger for those developing psychotic problems like schizophrenia.

I can not post links for some reason, but if you google the subject, you will get hits.
