Researchers found that more kids are being exposed to marijuana—by the age of 5, they report in Clinical Pediatrics [5]. Between 2006 and 2013, the marijuana exposure rate rose 147.5 percent among kids 5 and under, according to a press release [6]—and it rose nearly 610 percent during that period in states that legalized medical marijuana before the year 2000 (by our count, five [7]).
