Pot brownie overdose causes man to call cat a bad word. Hey, DEA? Is this like heroin overdose?

This man had four marijuanas and ended up crawling around on the floor calling his cat ugly names. His vital signs were normal and he slept it off.

The DEA has placed cannabis in the same class as heroin, so I assume they think heroin overdose is in the same benign category?

An Omaha dad who mistakenly ate some marijuana brownies didn’t enjoy the experience.

Omaha police officers were called to a house near 90th and Maple Streets about 9:45 p.m. Tuesday to investigate an accidental overdose. They learned that a 53-year-old man had been unloading groceries and found some brownies in the backseat of a car that his adult children had used earlier in the day.

The man ate four of the brownies.

The man’s wife told police that as she and her husband were watching TV, he noted that he was getting “bad anxiety.” She tried to call their children to ask them what was in the brownies but couldn’t reach them. (The woman told officers that she would rather not provide her children's names because she thought they could get in trouble. An Omaha police spokesman said the investigation into the matter has concluded.)

so discombobulated the man that he couldn't distinguish between a cat and a female dog.

On edit: It appears I was wrong.

The name has been uttered. The night is dark and full of brownies...

Brownies are sacred. if you didn't make them or buy them, you need to ask permission to eat them.

Some people must learn their lessons the trippy way. Imagine if he injected four heroins instead, though.

He might have called the dog names, too.

That's the best part of the story.

( if the pot is in the brownie do you still get the munchies or is it like shampoo and conditioner in one? I wonder...)
