Today, Toronto Public Health has launched a new public education campaign to promote safe and responsible cannabis use. Targeted toward parents and caregivers, the campaign reminds people to safely store cannabis in a locked area and out of reach of children.
There are immediate and long-term health concerns with consuming cannabis around children. It is safest not to smoke or vaporize cannabis inside the home or when children are present. To protect a child’s health and well-being, parents and caregivers should make sure cannabis is safely stored, and avoid consuming cannabis when caring for children.
Specific tips include:
• storing all cannabis products in a locked area and in child-resistant packaging, and
• ensuring children cannot see the cannabis or reach the locked area.
If you think a child has consumed any form of cannabis, get medical help right away. Call Ontario Poison Centre at 1-800-268-9017 or call 911 immediately.
