Over 7,000 confirmed cases have been reported within 5 years.
in 39 states. And though the drug is still banned federally, a growing number of states are permitting the legal use of marijuana. That number will most likely only grow.
Dr. Marit Tweet, a medical toxicologist with the Southern Illinois School of Medicine, who led the study, also noted that these confirmed cases are just the ones that were reported to poison control centers. Many others likely didn’t report the incident. With the growing number of states legalizing pot, Tweet is calling for more diligence from marijuana manufactures when it comes to the safety of children in homes where marijuana-laced treats are present. Often times, edibles are packaged to look like kids’ candies and snacks, Tweet hopes that laws will be put into place to make these less appealing and accessible to children.
Nearly 15% of the children were admitted to non-critical care units and 1/3 were seen in emergency rooms. Drowsiness, breathing problems, fast heart rate and vomiting were the most common symptoms. Both school closures and increased time spent at home could have played a role in the rise, they said.
