Cannabis History
Cannabis has historically been used medicinally and recreationally by individuals all over the world since the dawn of time. With that being said, due to political gain and race issues, laws were put in place that made this ancient medication out to be an incredibly dangerous illicit drug. There are scientific studies that not only fight that information but prove it the exact opposite. We have years and generations of forced biases to work against. Unfortunately, normalization is never easy.

Edibles, concentrates, vapes, etc. are typically much stronger than smoking just regular cannabis flower.

Microdosing with cannabis is when you consume a controlled amount, that could look like starting with a 5mg gummy edible, or even cutting that in half.

From talking to your children about plants to explaining how plant medicine works, discussing cannabis with your children will look different based on their age. It is our goal, as a community to provide these answer based on experience, not just what we think should happen. There is no one shoe fits all when it comes to how you raise your children around cannabis, but maybe hearing the stories of others will help you figure out what the best course of action is personally.
Currently there are resources scattered all over. There are many parents and blogs putting out incredible information. It is our goal at Parents Advocating for Cannabis Education to create a hub, a common place for those resources.

While next to impossible in the traditional sense, it is still possible to consume too much marijuana and have a bad reaction, this would also be defined as an overdose. Anytime you take too much of something it is possible to have adverse reactions. Possible symptoms of cannabis overdose are vomiting, paranoia, anxiety, and more.
If you suspect you or someone you love is having an adverse reaction, do not be afraid to reach out to poison control for what steps to follow.
