We should pass a law making it a felony if someone fails to secure edibles in a safe in a home that children reside in or frequent.

Alcohol too? How about cleaning supplies like bleach? Because you're going to have a lot of felonies to prove.

Yes, especially alcohol. Probably the most dangerous substance known to man.

I think enriched uranium is probably the most dangerous substance known to man. But if you're going to make it a felony when kids get into harmful things, you're going to be locking up a lot of people.

Potentially, but not actually. Alcohol directly kills 140,000 Americans every single year.

Yes, but the secondary affects of alcohol are widespread-domestic abuse, job loss, homelessness, reckless behavior, violence etc. tobacco doesn’t leaves wake of destruction.

And that's going to happen to a kid when dad doesn't lock the liquor cabinet? Homelessness? Job loss?

You need to lighten up. Go have a couple of gummies and binge watch the Twilight Zone.

Yes, it’s called addiction and that’s how it starts.

The difference is that bleach doesn't look and taste like candy lmao. You could maybe argue the point for the sugary wine coolers but kids hate the taste of most liquor.

Yeah make everything a felony.

Being a Karen or a boomer should be a felony too.

Alcohol is more dangerous for kids to consume, it can easily kill them, especially hard alcohol.
