Cannabis Safety Awareness Flyer - Maine CDC Prevention Network

Cannabis Safety Awareness Flyer – Maine CDC Prevention Network

This double-sided educational flyer, produced by the Maine Prevention Network and supported by the Maine CDC, emphasizes the importance of cannabis safety in the home. Featuring a child and a dog on the front, the flyer highlights the risks cannabis poses to both children and pets, particularly when edibles resemble everyday sweets.

The flyer provides key information, including:

• Reasons to lock up cannabis to protect children and pets.
• Warning signs of cannabis poisoning, such as trouble walking, staying awake, or breathing, along with vomiting or sudden abnormal behavior.
• Specific symptoms for pets, including shaking, vomiting, or stumbling.
• Emergency instructions to contact Poison Control immediately if cannabis ingestion is suspected (800-222-1222).

A clear and direct piece of public health ephemera, this flyer serves as both a harm-reduction tool and collectible artifact from the ongoing discourse around cannabis legalization and community health.
