Marijuana

Does it take the same amount of time to kick in as an edible?

I could see people knocking these back, and then getting into a mess a couple of hours later after it has all started to hit.
It's like any other substance in that the person will have to learn how it impacts them. They'll have a dose amount per drink. But essentially it's a moot point as alcohol is worse. THC vs alcohol is completely different in terms of impact. Too much alcohol makes you belligerent and can kill. Too much pot and you get a great nights sleep.

Also, ask a cop if he'd rather deal with a pot head or drunk.
