5. That's kind of a different issue, though.

People for sure need to be educated about edibles, particularly because in my experience they can take between 1-2 hours to fully kick in.

So you don't want to be "hey Im not feeling it, will eat some more".

That said, though, the hyperbole around "edible overdoses" is overblown, I think. If you discover you're too high, you generally don't need to call 911 or go to the emergency room. You need to drink something like orange juice- blood sugar is a factor- and maybe put on some chilling music or a funny movie, remind yourself that you're just really high, it will pass, and not stress about it.
