Mother says package presenting cannabis like ‘treat’ put children in N.S. hospital
The mother of a nine-year-old boy says packaging that depicts highly potent cannabis as a "treat," as shown in this handout image, led her son and his classmates at a Halifax school to consume them and become violently ill earlier this week. Katrina MacDonald, who is also a health-care worker, said her son threw up multiple times and had to be rushed to emergency, while the mother of another child — who spoke on the condition of anonymity — said her child was taken to intensive care for treatment before stabilizing.
