Nottawasaga OPP have issued a warning about the effects of cannabis edibles after a teen was sent to a local hospital on Friday.
Officers are reminding residents that it’s a criminal offence to give or sell cannabis to a person under 18.
Unlike cannabis products that are intended for inhalation, edibles have a more intense effect on users, police say, as well as an extended delay between consumption and reaction.

According to OPP, the combination of increased potency and a delayed effect can potentially cause people unfamiliar with edibles to over-consume.
