据《美国医学会杂志·内科学》杂志发表的一项研究显示，加拿大大麻合法化导致 65 岁以上老年人因大麻中毒到急诊室就诊的人数增加了两倍。 Legalized weed in Canada led to a tripling of emergency room visits for cannabis poisoning among seniors aged 65 and older, according to a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine. 研究发现，在加拿大大麻合法化后，大麻中毒数量增加了一倍，而当大麻开始零售时，中毒数量又增加了两倍。 After Canada legalized cannabis, the number of poisonings doubled and then tripled when edibles became available for retail sale, the study found. 研究人员表示，老年人可能会有意使用大麻，但有时也会意外使用，即把大麻误认为是其他食物。 Researchers suggest that seniors may use cannabis intentionally but also sometimes by accident, when edibles are mistaken for other foods.
