Unintentional pediatric cannabis exposures are increasing due to legal changes. Emergency visits and calls for marijuana intoxication in children are rising, requiring clinical attention.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Toxicology
  • Public Health
  • Pharmacovigilance

Background:

  • Legalization of recreational and medicinal cannabis in the US has altered the landscape of pediatric exposures.
  • Increased availability of cannabis products has led to a rise in unintentional ingestions by children.
  • Pediatric cannabis intoxication can result in severe toxicity, including encephalopathy and respiratory depression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the growing public health concern of pediatric cannabis exposures.
  • To inform clinicians about the recognition, evaluation, and management of unintentional cannabis intoxication in children.
  • To emphasize the need for increased awareness and preparedness among healthcare providers.

Main Methods:

  • Review of emergency department visits and poison control center calls related to pediatric cannabis exposures.

  • Analysis of trends in unintentional pediatric cannabis intoxication over recent decades.
  • Discussion of clinical manifestations and management strategies for pediatric cannabis toxicity.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant increase in emergency department visits and poison control center calls for pediatric cannabis intoxication has been observed.
    • States with decriminalized cannabis show a notable rise in these exposure incidents.
    • Cannabis-containing products are a common source of pediatric toxicity.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinicians must be prepared to manage the increasing number of pediatric cannabis exposures.
    • Enhanced public health strategies and parental education are crucial to prevent unintentional ingestions.
    • Further research is needed to fully understand the long-term effects of cannabis exposure in children.
