Cannabis Edible–Related Exposures Among Children Aged 0–5 Years: Colorado, Washington, and Oregon; America’s Poison Centers National Poison Data System (NPDS); 2017–2023 Note. Cases were defined as cannabis edible exposure (NPDS generic code 0310121) with final outcome classified as “minor” (e.g., vomiting or transient altered mental status or somnolence), “moderate” (e.g., obtundation, mild hypotension, or a single seizure), or “major” (e.g., respiratory depression, need for intubation and mechanical ventilation, or multiple seizures). Washington required single-unit packaging for edibles starting in February 2017. Oregon increased allowed tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in edibles starting April 2022. Additionally, Colorado restricted edible THC allowances from 200 mg to 100 mg per package in early 2018, potentially coinciding with the reduced number of cases.
