According to an investigative report published by WAVY-TV 10 , "Pediatric ER Visits are climbing due to the amount of kids ingesting cannabis products in the Commonwealth.

"Cannabis, fentanyl and other street drugs are also contributing to a higher number of pediatric deaths this year in Virginia, as well as nationally."

According to the report, one of the primary drivers behind this problem is companies which produce edible cannabis products putting those products in packaging which mimics popular brands of candy.

The Federal Trade Commission, as well as the Food and Drug Administration have issued warnings about this growing problem in an article titled: THC edibles that look like snacks popular with kids? FTC and FDA have something to say about that.
