I read the April 19 story “Deaths stoke worries about pot edibles” in Colorado, and that some are saying it was caused by foods and candy made with marijuana. Was the product bought from a medical pot outlet or was the marijuana homegrown? If it was homegrown, then maybe the grower used pesticides to stop insects from chewing up the plants. Pesticides are poisonous and if ingested can cause hallucinations, sickness and even death. Another thing to consider is someone could have laced the food with LSD, which would cause enough hallucination for somebody to jump off a hotel balcony. These are things that need to be looked at before blame is made without all the facts.
