Detroit kids hospitalized after eating edibles. Doctors say it happens nearly every day

An ongoing problem on some local school campuses is raising new concerns: children ingesting marijuana edibles. It played out again this week at Thomas Edison Elementary School in Detroit, where six students were hospitalized Tuesday after eating edibles. A spokesperson for the school district told us all six students are OK as of Wednesday. But parents, health officials and members of the cannabis industry say the situation is part of a broader trend — and local doctors warn it’s happening more often than many families realize.
