"Chen, through a Mandarin interpreter, told Judge Elizabeth Reid that he didn’t know the gummies contained THC because he does not speak or read English.
“This potentially could have had devastating consequences but he immediately pulled over and called 911,” Reid said."
I wonder if he bought them or if someone offered it to him knowing that he cant read english?
Not sure how things work in Connecticut but I assume if he went to a dispensary there would be big weed leaf symbols everywhere?
I buy the excuse that he didn’t know because the article makes it sound like he was munching on them like candy, and I can’t imagine someone would do that if they knew what they were getting into. However, it is strange that he had them in the first place. Is it possible that some convenience stores or gas stations sell pot stuff there? If they sell edibles or pot like they typically sell tobacco and alcohol, that might be where he got them because it seems strange for someone to eat candy someone else gave them. The only reason I would do that is if it was from a friend, but they’d almost certainly tell me that the gummies would get me high. That said, maybe he forgot they were THC edibles.
Another possibility is maybe he thought they were CBD infused, not THC. Then again, seems crazy to just munch on CBD gummies like they’re candy, but at the very least it probably wouldn’t have you passing out on the highway like he did.
Yeesh, I hope not. It’s the only shit I can get “legally” here in Texas, but if shit like this starts occurring regularly then I might not be able to soon.
