Child poisoning is most likely to occur from accidental ingestion if marijuana products are in the home.

Is Marijuana toxic to dog?
It's a good idea to contact your veterinarian if you suspect your dog has ingested marijuana; a large amount could cause a severe threat to their health. The effects of this plant are more intense and generally more toxic to dogs because they have more cannabinoid receptors. Symptoms of intoxication include dilated pupils, drooling, vomiting, and hyperactivity. Your dog may also seem wobbly and uncoordinated and develop urinary incontinence. If a large amount is ingested tremors, seizures, and coma can result.
