Publisher's Synopsis
The legalization of medical cannabis-infused edibles has taken Canadians by surprise. The lack
of education and censoring to children and adults has created a rise in intoxication and
hospitalization.
The stigma and self-medicating in the shadows have created a sense of innocent intoxication of
children by ingestion of attractive and colorful edibles. Though the benefits are in the numbers
of decreased opioids addiction and death, the handling and storage of the edibles are often
disregarded because of the nuance that "cannabis doesn't kill"
In this book, we go through typical situations that occur all over the world with children that
have access to medical edibles as well as a hint of how the doctors treat THC intoxication.
Through the courses taken at McGill University, I have been able to show all patients what
are the ways to self-medicate and reduce the psychoactive effects when overmedicated.
As we know that talking about cannabis is still taboo in certain circles, and medicating with
cannabis is still hidden by the newcomers, but we have to remember that storage and locking
your edibles should be treated with the highest respect, like alcohol, and opioids.
Especially since the edibles are very attractive to the innocent eyes of our children.
