Colorado Marijuana Related Kids ER Visits

Since 2014 there has been a large increase in the number of visits from children to the emergency room in Colorado. The culprit is marijuana.

Not necessarily that Colorado kids under 10 are smoking it, BUT cannabis is to be blamed for this massive surge in ER trips.

Many of these cases are the results of accidents. Children breaking into their parents' loot of edible treats. Brownies, cookies, and candy are like a flame to a moth. They don't bother to check ingredients, all they see is YUMMY!

Hardly any of these cases of accidental ingestion turned serious, but there was a handful that was serious including one which resulted in a coma.

Best advice is to make double sure your stash is securely contained and hidden where the kids can't get to it.
