Colorado Kids Exposed to Second-Hand Pot Smoke One in six young children in small study had detectable THC levels

A small but substantial portion of young children admitted to the hospital for bronchiolitis had evidence of marijuana in their systems, a study out of Colorado found. Using a new assay developed by the CDC, Karen Wilson, MD, of Children's Hospital Colorado in Aurora, and colleagues, found that seven out of 43 children (16%) younger than 2 with bronchiolitis had marijuana metabolites (COOH-THC) in their urine at levels of 0.04 to 1.5 ng/mL). http://www.medpagetoday.com/MeetingCoverage/PAS/57684?xid=nl_mpt_DHE_2016-05-04&eun=g721819d0r
