Increase in youth accidental consumption of cannabis edibles
A new article by CTV news reports on a Canadian study that showed an increase in the number of children who accidentally consumed cannabis edibles to a total of 51 reports in 2019. The number of children hospitalized due to severe reactions to cannabis has actually doubled since 2018. You can read the full article here.
Is anyone surprised by the information in the article?
After reading it, I also felt the need to share an infographic from CCSA that provides information on how to safely store cannabis. http://cannabisknowledgehub.ca...e-your-cannabis.html
I am not surprised by the information in the article, actually we anticipated hearing and seeing the evidence that there would be cases of unintentional poisoning from cannabis.
Here is a link to the information on preventing unintentional poisoning from cannabis from the Saskatchewan Prevention Institute website. https://skprevention.ca/safety/poisoning/
thank you for the infographic from CCSA!
The Saskatchewan Prevention Institute page is great, I like that they share what signs to look out for accidental consumption in children.
Thank you for the information Cara!
The CTV News Report looks great on a Canadian Study that shows an increase in the number of children who accidently consumed cannabis edibles to a total of 51 reports in 2019.

OMG as someone who worked in the Healthy Babies program at the health unit I was so worried about this all along. Allowing edibles to be in the form of goodies is wrong at so many levels.
Usually prefer to use CBD flowers for my anxiety. For example this review https://cannaflower.com/hemp-uses/
