During the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency rooms saw a spike in cannabis-related events in adolescents, according to new data released on Thursday.

Findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed the number of adolescents visiting the ER was higher during the pandemic years than in 2019.

Most of the incidents reported by the CDC involved young adults aged 15 to 24 years, suggesting a potential link to self-soothing methods during the pandemic.

The edibles are very powerful and take an hour or more to hit. Kids eating them and not getting high and eating another or good grief maybe more than that! Frightening.

What the hell, parents just leaving drugs out? Accessible?

Gummies and candies with the essence in them are dangerous if kids find them.

Actually in the movie I Love You, Alice B. Toklas starring Peter Sellers (1968) people got high from eating the special brownies. The film debut of Leigh Taylor Young who was later in Soylent Green. Toklas was the lifelong lover of the writer Gertrude Stein.

Tonight in my hospitals ER some guy, about 30 something was smoking pot.

Lying on the stretcher with one of those vape things. Security took the thing away from him and put him in four point restraints. Had another guy once lock himself in a bathroom in the ER and shot up heroin. People do the strangest stuff.

No problem it’s states approved

The things some states do for tax money can kill you.
