Today is your day Boomer! Are you one of those Boomers that use cannabis edibles....the candies or maybe cookies for recreational or medical use? Afterall, Boomers did grow up in the so-called drug era and many continue to use. Are you also grandparents and have little kids in your house on a regular basis? According to a new study, this is a problem....especially in provinces like BC, Alberta, and Ontario. Children in these provinces are somehow getting access to these edibles and eating them! According to The New England Journal of Medicine, "unlike adults where they would mostly get high, maybe a little bit drowsy, when young children ingest edibles, they may become very, very sick. We've seen kids with seizures, kids who stopped breathing." The study shows after legalization of cannabis in 2018 to now, cases of kids eating edibles has risen from 2 to 15 per month. That's a huge increase and very concerning! The edibles cannot be sold in fancy, colourful wrappers, inviting to kids.....so that means people are getting careless with them. Boomers, we are part of this problem. Help! Please carefully store and lock them away like your other medicines. Cheers.
