Understanding Cannabis Poisoning in Children
Cannabis poisoning in children can occur due to ingestion of marijuana products, either by mistake or intentionally. Symptoms of cannabis poisoning in children may include drowsiness, disorientation, hallucinations, and, in severe cases, a slow heartbeat or even coma.
Symptoms to Watch For
- Drowsiness or sleepiness
- Disorientation or confusion
- Hallucinations
- Excessive drooling
- Lethargy or weak muscles
What to Do
If you suspect your child has been exposed to cannabis, remove the product and seek immediate medical attention. Call emergency services if symptoms are severe. Do not induce vomiting without medical guidance.
