The report showed that cannabis-related ER visits increased year over year, which is something that had not been seen with other such causes of poisoning. In 2023, there were 42 youngsters treated in emergency rooms for cannabis poisoning, 14 in Herkimer County and 7 in Otsego County. Recommendations by the Department of Health as a result of this study says to minimize unintentional exposure of cannabis to children, reduce the risk by safe storage of edibles and other similar cannabis products the kids could think are safe snacks.
