There's been a recent trend in publications relating to the dangers of cannabis concentrates and edibles, and I am of the opinion that these publications are largely alarmist, and often quite inaccurate.

Here's an example:

Even if the substance in the Ohio festival overdose case was cannabis related, I'm sure they will highlight the dangers of these types of cannabis, rather than the fact that it was only a "scare" and all parties involved walked away unharmed.

I live in a state where cannabis is legal, and there was an incident at a high school where a student gave out cannabis cookies without informing his victims that the cookies contained THC, those who ate the cookies were hospitalized, and were fairly freaked out, so going to the hospital from cannabis intoxication does occur...but you figure a crowd of adult festival goers would be able to recognize a heavy cannabis experience, and differentiate it from a dangerous drug reaction, 24 is a lot of people to be freaked out just from cannabis.

Maybe it was cannabis, but for some reason I doubt it...
