Well, it's true that today's cannabis is much stronger than it used to be, and edibles can be easily mistaken for regular food, which can lead to accidental consumption.

It must be strong...look what it did to you.

Accidental consumption?

Not around this bunch.

It's true that legal marijuana use, especially among seniors, can have unintended health consequences. Older adults may not be aware of the potency differences between what they might have used decades ago and today's products. This can lead to issues like overconsumption or adverse interactions with medications they're already taking. I’ve seen this particularly with products like thca disposable, which are convenient but can pack a punch if not used carefully.

All true.

Memory loss is one issue.

So the other night I decided to do some herbal gardening. A Native friend had shown me smudging. I didn't have any sage but had some killer flower. I don't remember the rest or where I was going with this story. But I remember there were Doritos.

It's way stronger now. I can attest to that, and that's why I stay away from it at this point in my life.

Memory loss is one issue.

And so is memory loss.
