Limited evidence suggests increase in cannabis poisonings among children following legalization

A study found large increases in hospitalizations for unintentional cannabis poisonings among children following legalization of recreational cannabis use. The study didn't specify if the poisonings were from legal or illegal sources. Legal cannabis products have childproof packaging and limited THC content. The launch of legal edibles coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have contributed to increased pediatric emergency room visits for poisoning. More information is needed, but there are indications that cannabis poisonings may have increased. Moving on, let's discuss the business perspective of the cannabis industry before legalization.
