Dowd gets high

Michelle Broder Van Dyke has a Buzzfeed article about Maureen Dowd:

In Maureen Dowd’s latest column, she writes about going to Colorado in January of 2014 to report on legalized marijuana and how she ended up so high she thought she was dead:

I strained to remember where I was or even what I was wearing, touching my green corduroy jeans and staring at the exposed-brick wall. As my paranoia deepened, I became convinced that I had died and no one was telling me.

She writes that she found out later that a novice, such as her, should have broken the edible into sixteen pieces and eaten one piece. Dowd goes on to talk about the dangers of too much pot and the “darker side of unleashing a drug as potent as marijuana on a horde of tourists of all ages and tolerance levels seeking a mellow buzz”.
Dowd follows the lead of other New York Times columnists who have come out against weed, including David Brooks, who wrote in January of 2014 that he smoked as a teenager, but doesn’t think it should be legal now.
Dowd told Business Insider she she still favors marijuana legalization, “but, given all the tourists streaming into Colorado, it would be better to err on the side of conservative cautions.”
