Secure Kids: Free THC Storage Bags from Health Agency
In a troubling trend, Michigan's poison control center received 387 reports in 2024 of children under the age of six ingesting or being exposed to cannabis products—a record high for the state. Health experts say the majority of these incidents involved edibles containing THC that children accidentally consumed after finding them at home.
This alarming increase has prompted public health officials to stress the importance of storage bags for cannabis. Many cannabis edibles resemble regular candy or baked goods, making them especially dangerous in homes with small children. Although state regulations mandate child-resistant packaging and prohibit the sale of edibles that look like candy, unregulated products—often sold online or through illegal channels—continue to pose a serious risk.
To combat this growing issue, the Branch-Hillsdale-St. Joseph Community Health Agency has partnered with local organizations and a recreational marijuana dispensary to distribute free locking storage bags for cannabis products.
