Flying High: Pediatric Cannabinoid Ingestions in the Post-Legalization Era

In the post legalization era of recreational marijuana, high doses of cannabinoids are readily available at the local dispensary if you are over 21. However, when a child sees those “grown up” blueberry gummy bears their mother’s purse, there can be dire consequences. This talk will cover how easy access to marijuana affects the pediatric population and how legalization has contributed to a significant increase in toxic ingestions and cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. This presentation will address cannabinoid toxicity in pediatric patients as well as current treatment recommendations.
