What were the main findings of a 12 year retrospective study on pediatric ED visits for cannabis intoxication in Toronto from 2008-2019?
“Children with cannabis-related ED visits in the peri-post legalization period experienced significantly higher rates of ICU admission compared to those who presented in the pre-legalization period. Children in the peri-post legalization period were younger, had more severe ED presentations and required more interventions during ED visit.”
