Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, in Aurora, wanted to see if unintentional marijuana exposures in children ticked up after the drug became legal for adult recreational use in 2014. (Medical use of marijuana has been legal in Colorado since 2000.)
The authors analyzed data on hospital admissions at a children's hospital and at a regional poison center between 2009 and 2015. Eighty-one children -- all under 10 years old -- were treated at the hospital and 163 marijuana exposure calls were made to the poison center.

ReplyDeleteThis should be treated by parents as any prescription drug should be, kept locked up, away from children.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the issue is with the parents, not the Marijuana. Don't put your edibles on the counter where your 3 year old sees a "gummy".
ReplyDeleteStupid. People really are. Marijuana for recreational use... No harm, no foul. But ffs leave your kids out of it.
None of them were life threatening.

He sleeps for a while and wakes up hungry.
He has ZERO chance of dying.
He has ZERO chance of hallucinating.

Quit the hysteria. And quit being afraid of everything your "leaders" try to drum up as the latest boogeyman.
Fearful people are easy to lead. And if they are stupid, too, its a gold mine of sheep! Also known as Democrats.
Keep cheering!
Stupid parent to leave that out. Not a marijuana issue. It could have just as easily been a cup of bleach and been worse. Careless.
