Reports of Marijuana Poisoning on the Rise

It might be a real problem or it might just be a little hysteria, but the chart below is interesting.  These apparently are self-reports to a poison center, not confirmed poisonings, and note the big spike in October, when police were warning about possible pot-spiked candy at Halloween.

It's possible that nervous parents are just suspecting marijuana every time the kid get an upset tummy after eating a gummy bear.  But it's also possible that increased availability is leading to increased accidental overconsumption.  It's good that people are keeping an eye on it.
