A seven-month-old baby was among a “significant” number of children requiring medical care for “serious adverse events” involving cannabis since legalization last October, according to a new study.

"The number of cases involving young children is striking," Dr. Christina Grant, a pediatrician in Hamilton, Ont. and co-principal investigator, said in a news release. The data is similar to trends in Colorado and Washington state, where cannabis is also legal, the CPSP said.

This is unfortunate and sad. IMO Parents with children shouldn’t have edibles in their house unless they can be sure kids can’t access them. Responsible parenting.

Second hand smoke....

It really needs to be mentioned that the edibles were either homemade or from the black market. The newborn infant photo, get real and stop with the fear mongering. cannabis marijuana weed edibles ctvnews

Bad parenting plain and simple. The drug has been around forever.

Pretty sure this still happened before legalization.

Parents were hiding their illegal stash better than their legal stash? This makes no sense at all

Great job Trudeau !!

You shouldn’t show a photo of a newborn baby who can’t even roll over never mind get into their parents stash. A bit misleading

Par for the course

Way to keep fear mongering. Majority of the cases were due to parents leaving shit lying around and their kid getting it, stop making it seem like the baby smoked weed and got sick.

According to JT & the Liberals they were legalizing cannabis to keep it out of the hands of children. Worked well didn't it? Not.
