WOMAN WAS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR GIVING GRANDSON A POT COOKIE.

A Denver grandmother who recently took her own life was under
investigation for giving her 3-year-old grandson a marijuana cookie.

Family members say 44-year-old Erin Marcove gave the toddler at least
one peanut butter cookie made with cannabis butter Dec. 4.

The next day, she had trouble rousing the boy and called an ambulance.

A week later, relatives told KMGH-TV the grandmother took her own
life. Marcove was an advocate for medical marijuana and had used the
drug for chronic back pain most of her life.

Police seized a jar of cannabis butter at her home. A police report
showed the boy had the drug in his system when he was taken to the
hospital. The toddler has recovered.
