For many, actually it's the opposite when you take it. It is more likely to make you paranoid than confident. On the other hand, alcohol can be a real confidence booster.

What? Me worry?
Like the story making the rounds: if five guys get drunk they may start a fight; if five guys get stoned they may start a band.

He must've had the genes for it then and I'm sorry to hear that.
As with alcohol, peoples' metabolism varies a lot. We've yet to do a ton of study on cannabis. That said, most folks can tell it's not good for them rather quickly. (Neither of them suit me ... at all.) Here in Canada, since legalisation 4 months ago, I've seen no changes. If anything, some research indicates there is less alcohol being drunk, and less meth being used.

There have been problems reported in Canada as a result of legalization.
The risks of edibles are documented in the same article that was referenced above.

Currently edibles are not legal in Canada but they are on deck to be legalized in Oct. 2019?

We saved a kid's life once, from booze. Poor education it was. Kid was tiny, about 14, chugged a mickey trying to be cool, and passed out in a snowbank in -40. Not a popular kid, so 'friends' at the party planned to just leave her there. Our daughter wasn't hammered enough, and still had some wits about her and called us. After hearing what she had done, we drove her straight to Emergency. They called the parents, and pumped her stomach. Parent was mad at us of course.
So education is key. I can see how strong edibles could be rather dangerous. Not sure if you can actually OD on it though. May have been laced with something else.
Booze and cold weather takes a few lives every year.

My personal opinion is to limit production to a pill or capsule. My kids hate taking pills. But they love brownies, cookies, and gummy bears.
A friend of mine gobbled some brownies for breakfast one time. he was a radio disc jockey. Went to work, but eventually had to call in sick after a few gibbled announcements. So yes, people really need to take care. Not suitable for children ... at all.

I have been smoking for 10 years, 7 without a break. I smoke for s deep religious feeling of belief in life. I can see trees glow by pure will.

My daughter who was 19 at the time, got ahold of some edibles and like you said, she ate too much and started vomiting.
...That was a hard lesson learned. Needless to say, she was in big trouble after coming clean as to why she was so sick and intoxicated.
In the Bible the Holy Annointing oil Exodus 30:23-25 has cannabis in it (kaneh bosem); which is the etymology of the word cannabis.
Christ and his disciples healed with it Mark 6:13, and the early church new it healed, thus why they were called Christians (James 5:14).
In Zoroastrian texts there is a plant called Haoma which is a reed based plant with aromatic flowers - which caused them to write prophetic poetry the same.
In Hindu texts we have Soma which again helped cause the Rishi to connect with the divine, and write spiritual poetry.
Buddha had Bhang, which is cannabis leaves crushed with coconut milk to make a drink.
Muhammad told us we will sit on couches, drinking ginger (zanjabil) and cannabis tea (kafur).
Thus many of the religions wouldn't really have existed without the help of cannabis.
In my opinion.

I like it. The Big Bhang. Talk about your cool etymology.

Buddha did not use any intoxicant. if he did why would he then teach no use of intoxicantion substancen? and where do you got info where you learned your clame?In the Bible the Holy Annointing oil Exodus 30:23-25 has cannabis in it (kaneh bosem); which is the etymology of the word cannabis.

An intoxicant, intoxicates in someway; in other words it poisons us to cause an affect.
To have balanced cannabinoids, we require a full range of omega oils for regulated mindfulness.
Cannabis is deemed Holy according to my understanding of the religious texts; thus deeming something illegal, that should be regal, is part of the problem with spirituality globally.
We have a malnutrition crisis, which hemp could easily fix, and mankind is heading for WW£$ as people need to chill...
Hemp would also solve the oil problem, and was the original fuel Henry Ford developed cars to run on.
We can google it.
In my opinion.
