According to a recent CNN article, kids are at increased risk of accidental “poisoning” from marijuana edibles. This may not seem surprising given the legalization of recreational marijuana products and the increase in products in the market. The news comes via a study that analyzed calls to poison control centers over a three year period (2017-2019) that found the largest proportion of those calls involved edibles (36.6%). This stat is compared to calls about dried or pre-rolled cannabis plant poisonings. Maybe it’s because edibles generally look exactly like cookies, gummies, soda, etc.
