Cannabis and Child Accidental Ingestion: Safety Guide

Key Features

• Call Poison Control immediately at 1-800-222-1222.
• Watch for drowsiness, confusion, unsteady walking, or vomiting.
• Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a medical professional.
• Note the type and amount of cannabis product ingested.
• If the child is unconscious or having trouble breathing, call 911.
• Keep all cannabis products in child-resistant, locked containers.
• Teach children that edibles are not candy and can be dangerous.

Cannabis edibles often contain high concentrations of THC, and their effects can be delayed by one to three hours. Because they look like candy or baked goods, children may eat multiple servings without knowing. This delayed onset makes ingestion especially dangerous, as children can consume more before feeling any effects. Always keep products in their original child-resistant packaging and store them securely.
