NJ children eating more cannabis candy, with bad results
It’s a growing problem in New Jersey – edible marijuana brownies, cakes, gummies and other candies being gobbled down by children.
The New Jersey Poison Control Center is reporting an increase in the number of children experiencing adverse health effects after ingesting a large quantity of cannabis candy.
Last year, the Poison Control Center assisted in the medical treatment of more than 85 children who ate products containing THC, the chemical responsible for most of marijuana’s psychological effects, more than double the number treated in 2019 and 6 times as much as 2018.
Dr. Diane Calello, executive and medical director of the New Jersey Poison Control Center at the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, said if you eat or smoke a little more marijuana than you had planned you might get sleepy or a bit higher than intended.
