A study of a Colorado hospital network pinpoints the threshold of THC exposure that poses a danger to young children.
These toxic effects include dangerous slowing of the heart rate, plummeting blood pressure, seizures, unresponsiveness and respiratory failure, according to a new study published Monday in Pediatrics, a journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics .
The trend isn't unique to U.S. states that have legalized edibles; Canadian provinces that allow the sale of THC-infused snacks have also seen upticks in pediatric hospitalizations for cannabis poisonings. The median age of the affected children was 2.9 years, and the THC doses consumed ranged from 0.2 mg/kg of body weight to 69.1 mg/kg. Nearly 90% of the cases involved the child finding the edible at home, and in a handful of cases, an adult mistook the edible for a non-cannabis product and gave it to the child.
