Following recent reports about children accidentally consuming cannabis edibles and ending up in a hospital, Republican assemblyman Kevin J. Rooney of New Jersey is once again calling for safer cannabis storage in homes.
“After reading reports and hearing anecdotal evidence of increased cases of children and teenagers being rushed to hospitals and contacting poison control centers due to ingesting edible cannabis products, I cannot stress the importance of this bill enough,” Rooney stated. “If adults choose to purchase legally distributed cannabis products, that is their prerogative under the new state law, but they must be held accountable to prevent these products from getting into the hands of children who could unknowingly consume unsafe amounts and cause health issues.”
