Too high? 'Parachute' down with a new pill created by Michigan scientist

The man who co-invented liquid methadone in the 1970s is now betting his retirement on a new line of medical cannabis products in Michigan.

Among them is Parachute: a pure-CBD pill that dissolves underneath the tongue and is effective within five minutes -- meant to help rescue someone who has gotten too high.

"People take edibles and then they get too high -- it can be pretty dreadful," said Steve Goldner, founder of Pure Green. "CBD is a tremendous ameliorator."

Here’s one piece on that:https://www.consumerreports.org/cbd/can-cbd-help-you-sleep/

You don’t have to have it in pill form. Vaping would kick in faster as would oil under the tongue.

I guess most people, they're 24 hour critters? It takes me about 40 hours to just fall asleep with no problem.
