You’ve probably seen the headlines: “Edibles pose risk to children,” or “Rise in calls to poison control centers for marijuana intoxication in kids.” As more states move to legalize cannabis
Now in response, the Arizona Dispensaries Association is partnering with Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center to “create an awareness campaign” about the dangers of unintentional cannabis ingestion, especially for young children.
He said that, with cases involving children that young, ingestion of some sort of edible product is usually the culprit. While some full-grown adults might have problems with edibles, especially if taken unknowingly, it’s a whole different story for very small children. First, the organizations are starting an awareness campaign to better educate consumers, especially parents of young children, about the negative effects of cannabis edibles for children and teens.
Torrez is referring to hemp and hemp derived products that can be purchased over the counter in a growing number of locations throughout both Arizona and the rest of the country. Those hemp products aren't currently subject to similar scrutiny as products sold in state-licensed dispensaries. That"gray zone" is due to the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill in Congress, which allowed for hemp and most hemp products to be produced and shipped across state lines.
"The department comes out to their fields and collects samples," Sullivan said."They do tests on the samples to make sure that they're not greater than 0.3% Delta9 THC. That's where their regulatory oversight ends, with a small asterisk."
