Colorado pot edibles deaths spark regulatory worries in state
A college student fatally jumped from a hotel balcony after eating a large amount of marijuana edibles, while a Colorado husband faces a murder charge after his wife was shot. Authorities note edibles can be far stronger than joints, prompting calls for stricter labeling and serving limits as lawmakers debate regulations. Autopsy ties 19 year old Levy Pongi’s death to marijuana intoxication and a cookie containing THC equivalent to six joints. Richard Kirk, 47, is charged with shooting his wife amid reports he had eaten marijuana candy.
