[somarco]

Emergency department (ED) visits for cannabis poisoning among older people in Ontario doubled after dried cannabis flowers were legalized for recreational use

Many of these older ED patients also had cancer, alcohol use disorder, or dementia, Stall and colleagues reported in a JAMA Internal Medicine research letter.

"Older adults are prone to unintentional poisonings because edible cannabis products are visually attractive and palatable and may be taken in error, being easily confused with non-cannabis food items," he suggested.

"Contemporary cannabis is very potent; today's cannabis extracts contain as much as 30 times more THC than dried cannabis from the mid-1980s and early 1990s,"

Gummies for me.

Vapes are OK and convenient.

I don't enjoy smoking. Although, ice in a bong helps.
