“…On the basis of initial surveillance data and cases of accidental overconsumption, on February 1, 2015, Colorado instituted new packaging and labeling rules, requiring that recreational edible marijuana products contain no more than 10 mg of THC, or have clear demarcation of each 10-mg serving. In addition, before distribution, cannabinoid potency testing is now performed on batches of recreational edible marijuana products by state-certified laboratories (Hancock-Allen et al, 2015). …”

An increase in some specific diagnoses related to marijuana has been previously described after marijuana legalization in Colorado (cyclic vomiting, hash oil burns, pediatric marijuana exposures) (Wang et al, 2014; Kim et al, 2015; Bell et al, 2015; Wang et al, 2011; Wang et al, 2016).…”

“…Risk for dependence might also be heightened with use of marijuana concentrates (Loflin and Earleywine 2014). Likewise, consumption of marijuana-infused edibles is also a relatively prevalent behavior among users of marijuana (about 30 % of marijuana using teens consumed edibles in the past year), and emerging research about their high potential for overconsumption similarly suggests reason for worry (Berger 2014; Hancock-Allen et al 2015; MacCoun and Mello 2015). Given our findings regarding the promotion of marijuana use on Instagram, it appears important for public health professionals to work toward balancing this content with information for young people about the known risks about marijuana use, especially given the current research suggesting associated risks with ingesting marijuana in non-traditional forms (Stogner and Miller 2015).…”
