""Dr. Barb Blumenauer of Kamloops said children have required intensive care unit admissions, and mechanical breathing support for comas and seizures from using marijuana. She called for the establishment of a national database to measure hospitalizations.

“It is a misnomer that marijuana is a harmless substance. That is certainly not the case with children,” she said, adding that B.C. has seen pediatric poisoning cases, seizures and comas.

Ottawa obstetrician/gynecologist Jennifer Blake said she can’t recall another drug that has been licensed and legalized with “such little evidence.” She said when the CMA makes its submission to the federal government it should stress the need for quality research and long-term post-market monitoring.""


Cant recall another drug legalized with such little evidence? - Ok, caffeine? All that shit they put in energy drinks I see kids drinking? All the athlete "supplements". Anything negative they say about cannabis has dozens of substances that are more harmful that i can buy off the shelf. Alcohol and tobacco are obvious, but also everyday otc drugs like aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen, codeine, caffeine. I am no pharmacist, but I bet one could walk thru the isles of Shoppers Drugs and point to many, many things that could kill you by taking the whole package at once, also long term use will typically harm the kidneys/liver/stomach. Shit, 8 litres of water taken at once will throw off your brain chemistry and kill you.
or ordinary house plants! a kid might take a chomp on a dieffenbachia and they'll get really sick.

I call bullshit. Show us the proof of comas from cannabis use. Don't you think the Pam McColl's of the world would be screaming it from the rooftop if it were true. A very young child ingesting a large quantity of edibles may result in serious medical issues, but how common is it? How about youth being hospitalized or buried from alcohol poisoning booze related violence and accidents? I'm sure the good Dr. Barb has called for a similar database for booze, if not I'd be interested to know why the discrepancy.
