SAY San Diego, and advocacy and educational nonprofit, works in collaboration with schools, community coalitions, and local government to create positive changes for the comprehensive needs of the child, individual, or family. In a unique partnership, SAY SD has recently partnered with the cannabis industry with its latest campaign Stash Your Stash, advocating San Diegans to store their cannabis products away from kids and pets. One of the leaders in the cannabis industry in San Diego, March and Ash has jumped onboard this campaign, hoping that others in the industry will follow. In a recent study by the American Academy of Pediatrics, data from poison centers across the nation found a 1,375% rise in accidental cannabis ingestion among children under the age of 6 between 2017 and 2021. The national data resonates with multiple state-level studies showing a correlation between cannabis legalization and an increase in children ingesting THC-infused edibles. Between 2010 and 2020, edible exposures reported to the California Poison Control System (CPCS) increased from near zero to 79%. In tandem, cannabis toxicity is becoming more common in pets also. In the past six years, calls about marijuana poisoning to the Pet Poison Hotline have increased by 400%, with most calls reported in California and New York in a report from The New York Times. Last year, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ Poison Control hotline fielded nearly 7,000 calls for cannabis toxicity, an 11 percent increase from 2021. Stash Your Stash’s mission comes to life in a series of six colorful stickers featuring eye-catching messages designed to spark consumer awareness of the importance of storing cannabis flowers, edibles, and concentrates responsibly. Provided to customers at the point of sale, the stickers encourage customers to “Protect Your Furry Friends -- Stash Your Stash,” “Start Slow and Go Low,” and “Stay Classy, San Diego – Stash Your Stash.” SAY SD Prevention S
