San Diego hospital seeing an alarming number of children 5 and under with cannabis poisoning

San Diego County's only children's hospital reports that it continues to see elevated numbers of young patients arriving in its emergency department with cannabis poisoning, echoing findings from a new analysis released last week by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Dr. Natalie Laub, a pediatrician and cannabis researcher at Rady Children's Hospital, said the situation has been most dramatic for children age 5 and younger. "We were seeing about 20 kids per year, with the average age being 3 years old," Laub said.
