What are the risks of marijuana? More than many realize.
"Washington became only the second state to permit sales of recreational marijuana edibles....The state has now certified the facilities to make the edibles, tested them for strength, contamination and consistency, and reviewed their appearance and packaging....Edibles have proved popular in Colorado, especially among people who prefer to avoid smoking marijuana. But the rollout in Colorado came with concerns, including a spike in the number of children and pets being treated for accidentally overdosing on the pot-infused foods....Washington state's regulations aim to help prevent such incidents by making edibles labeling much clearer and making it easier for people to tell how strong an edible is. Colorado is considering similar rules." Trevor Hughes in USA Today
