Marijuana poisoning incidents spike in Washington state - Yahoo NewsSEATTLE (Reuters) - Marijuana exposure incidents, or 'pot poisonings,' have spiked in Washington state, especially among teenagers, in a trend experts said on Tuesday appears to be linked to the state's largely unregulated medical marijuana industry.
Marijuana exposures are defined as any situation where an adult or child suffers an adverse reaction to the consumption of marijuana, such as increased heart rate, paranoia or stomach illness, according to the Washington Poison Center.
Some 210 marijuana exposures were reported in the first nine months of the year, more than in all of 2013, according to Washington Poison Center Clinical Managing Director Alexander Garrard.
"Our thought is that the spike is potentially related to the number of unlicensed medical marijuana dispensaries that are opening up around the state," he said.
Washington legalized recreational marijuana use in 2012, with the first retail stores opening in 2014 under a highly regulated and taxed system in contrast to the relatively lax pre-existing regime for medical pot.
The state's medical marijuana industry, legalized in 1998, sells products of unconfirmed potency as well as marijuana edibles attractive to children, like gummy bears and lollipops.
While retail stores have been slow to open, Garrard said medical dispensaries have been expanding steadily over the past year.
Let me join my hand to that empty noggin'...2 clowns so far in the thread. Any others care to join?

Good, let them poison themselves. Darwin at work.
Good, let them poison themselves. Darwin at work.
LOL....considering that no one dies from marijuana poisoning....unlike alcohol poisoning or opiod poisoning or the many reasons that people actually poison themselves.....
I am sure that the parents of those children who die of accidental poisonings appreciate your sweet thoughts of their children.
If someone poisons me with their pot -- and that includes simply smoking pot in my vicinity -- and I kill them in self defense there will be marijuana poisoning deaths.Good, let them poison themselves. Darwin at work.

Pot is not a benign drug for some. For some people it is a debilitating, crippling anxiety producer. You try living a conscious nightmare. Someone makes me feel that way with their reckless pot use and I'll hurt them badly.

Why on Earth should I care about people who didn't care about themselves? Just to make you feel better?
I feel bad for parents who lose a child in any manner, but sometimes people bring about their own demise. Too bad, so sad.

Of course you wouldn't care about other people.
Why would you suddenly start doing that.
Meh. So, kids are getting their hands on Pot candy. Okay. No different that kids getting their hands on mom and dad's cigarettes, or getting into the liquor cabinet. Shit happens. Hey, mom, and dad. Here's a suggestion: keep the shit outa the reach of kids, like you do any other drugs. Duh!What did the retards who voted for legalization expect ?
