I do wonder what people think is going to happen to children who accidentally ingest the stuff. AFAICT there's not a lot of danger compared to alcohol.

I absolutely am not suggesting kids should be allowed pot, just that I think the hysteria is overstated.

E.g., earlier onset of psychosis symptoms, etc.

Oh sure, that's talking mostly about chronic/repeated use, rather than one-off accidental ingestion which is what I was aiming my comment at.
