According to the Washington Post (4/16, Chesler), across the US, poison control centers are reporting “a spike in the number of children who have ingested THC after eating their parents’ edibles, rising from just 19 cases in 2010, before recreational pot was legalized in any state, to 554 cases last year.” Some officials at the centers “attribute the rise in large part to a growing number of states having legalized marijuana.” Now, there are “36 that allow marijuana for medical use – and 18 of them now allow adult recreational use or have recently approved laws to do so – with a number of others moving in that direction.”
