[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For anyone who doubts they need to take this seriously:  I’m a 50 year old getting my masters degree in social work and I’m shocked at stories my fellow students interning at hospitals have shared with me.  3 Highlights based on true stories:

1) Cannabis when vaped (most common form of consumption by teens since it leave little odor and no smoke)  is cut with chemicals commonly found in windex which over time can be toxic. Teens present with migraines and nausea.

2) Cannabis can be also used as an addictive in potato chips.  A group of middle schoolers from an affluent suburb ended up in they ER bc they unknowingly ate chips covered in cannabis (true story I promise, not urban myth)

3) Most drugs these days are laced with fentanyl.  And some are now being laced with elephant tranquilizer.  Pills often come in bright primary colors.  These can be toxic especially for younger teens.

I have teens.  I have been talking to them about this. [/quote]

Confused — is fentanyl a concern with the cannabis use you describe?[/quote]

Not PP, but I know of an overdose today, from a student who thought they were vaping cannabis cartridges. It was laced with fentanyl. Luckily action was taken very quickly. [/quote]

Another yes. Cannabis can now be laced with fentanyl or other dangerous chemicals.  Pot today is not the pot from our childhoods.  [/quote]

Correct, however if you buy directly from a dispensary those odds are exceedingly low.[/quote]
