Editor's Note: This article illustrates why it is so important for marijuana-product manufacturers and sellers, especially those who sell edibles, to properly label their products. Protecting the consumer from over-consumption is one reason, but the need for manufacturers and retailers to be able to protect themselves from lawsuits is another–and a big one. (One lawsuit from a disgruntled consumer could destroy your business.)

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) – Doctors say they are seeing a jump in the number of people seeking help at emergency rooms after eating too much marijuana.
It’s easy to eat too much marijuana when it’s in edible form as one woman, who bought a pack of gummy bears at medical marijuana dispensary, told me.
“An ear (to eat) to start, and that would have made a little more sense,” she said.
But how much did she ingest?
“The whole gummy bear,” she said, “your immediate reaction is I’m dizzy, I’m just going to sit on the couch and then you end up falling asleep.”
