Given the recent legalization of marijuana in DC, I thought it might be pertinent/helpful to review the AAP’s stance on this.  The link below will help answer the following questions … (and give you some interesting cocktail party/water cooler material!)

…have recent laws legalizing medical and/or recreational use of pot increased its use among adolescents?

…is activated charcoal recommended for overdoses/accidental ingestions of marijuana?

…in which nearby state has marijuana use increased since medical marijuana was legalized?

…could an 18-year-old legally buy marijuana at a coffee shop in Amsterdam?

…are there any pediatric conditions in which medical use of marijuana is recommended?

Enjoy!
