Kinman Chan, age 30 of San Francisco, attributes his recent freak out during a cross country flight to eating double dose Marijuana cookies prior to boarding the plane. Chan was taken down by flight attendants after aggressively busting out of the bathroom with his pants down. He was then charged with interfering with the duties of a flight attendant, a charge that carries up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.If consumed in moderation, edibles are great for pain and stress relief. But once you consume a cookie that is too potent, you'll know it right away. For those of you who aren't familiar with 'edibles,' in particular the ones made available at Medical Marijuana Dispensaries; they are super strong. It's a pretty intense body high that can often times become way too intense, leading to dizziness, utter absent mindedness, or even freak outs. A buddy of mine had a near freak out experience after eating edibles for his flight to Hawaii. And trust me, this buddy is a major league chronnoisseur. A non-chronnoisseur suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, after consuming an edible, once told me:
"...basically, I didn't really feel anything anywhere else...the colon goes in, more or less, a circle around the navel. I felt like a round pulled muscle floating in space, rest of me--uber relaxed."
He was not on a plane.
The most crucial thing to be aware of when consuming an edible is the dosage; most people don't need, nor can they handle, more than a dose (or two, if you're a huge stoner) at a time. But 'COME ON MAN!' When your 35,000 feet in the air your blood becomes super thin and oxygen levels are decreased, thereby making you way more susceptible to the affects of drugs and alcohol. To ensure you don't get too high on your next flight, go easy on The Chronic!
