Description
Melissa Blumberg and four co-authors study young children who swallowed cannabis by accident in the United States. Such cases have risen since states legalized medical and recreational use. Records come from two large childrens hospitals and cover emergency visits from June 2016 to September 2024 for children aged zero to six years with a positive drug test.
Among 266 cases, most children were under age two and just over half were male. The team reviews what form was eaten, where it happened, and who owned the product. They test whether poverty of the home area links to social work input, child protection reports, and safe discharge plans. The aim is fair and even care for all families after such events.
