Florida mom demands clearer label on marijuana edibles after child winds up in hospital
Fox News
A Florida mom is urging stricter packaging regulations on THC products after her 6-year-old daughter allegedly ate a Faded Fruits cannabis-infused gummy thinking it was candy.
It all began over Memorial Day weekend, when McCoy visited her in-laws in Jacksonville. A group of friends, who allegedly are legal, medical marijuana patients, were gathered at the house. While McCoy left the house to see a relative, her husband stayed behind. "One of my in-laws' friends were staying in the room we normally stay in...This friend has 2 children," McCoy wrote in the Facebook post. "One of them had taken a running dive into the pool but alas... this child is two... so the parent went for a swim while fully clothed to get their child. They had this bag of gummies (well gummy, singular) in their pocket. Frazzled, I'm sure, they ran in and got out of the wet clothes.. grabbed the bag and put it in the dresser between some clothes while they went to change. My … daughter went in looking for HER clothes, because this is the room she normally stays in... she came across the bag and, like any 6 year old would... She ate the candy."More Related News
