Colorado's decision to legalize marijuana apparently has had an unintended consequence, that is, _1_ children. NPR's Rob Stein reports a new study documents a small increase in children accidentally ingesting marijuana since the law changed.

科羅拉多州決定大麻合法化顯然產(chǎn)生了意外的結(jié)果，那就是危害兒童。據(jù)NPR新聞的羅布·斯坦報(bào)道，一項(xiàng)新研究表明，自法律改變后，兒童誤食大麻案件小幅提高。

Researchers in Denver looked at the number of children treated in a children's hospital emergency room for accidentally ingestion of marijuana before and after Colorado legalized the drug. In the journal JAMA Pediatrics, the researchers report that no children _2_ at the ER for that problem before the new law went into effect. But at least 14 children aged 12 or younger were treated for _3_ marijuana ingestion since then. Eight of the 14 cases involve medical marijuana. In seven of the cases, children apparently ate food containing marijuana. The researchers say the cases suggest that more precautions need to be taken to prevent children from accidentally ingesting marijuana in states that ease their marijuana laws. Rob Stein, NPR News.

丹佛的研究人員查看了科羅拉多州大麻合法化前后，兒童誤食大麻在兒童醫(yī)院急診室接受治療的大量病例。研究人員在《美國醫(yī)學(xué)協(xié)會(huì)期刊·兒科》雜志上發(fā)表報(bào)告，在新法律實(shí)施前沒有兒童因誤食大麻在急診室治療。但是法律更改后，至少有14名12歲及以下的兒童因誤食大麻接受治療。其中8人涉及醫(yī)用大麻。其中7例，很明顯是兒童吃了含有大麻的食物。研究人員表示，這些案例表明，解除大麻限制的州，應(yīng)該采取更多的防范措施以防止兒童誤食大麻。NPR新聞，羅布·斯坦報(bào)道。
