The infographic 'Safety of Cannabinoids Used for Medical Purposes in Children' aligns with IHDCYH’s mandate by focusing on the health and well-being of children and youth. Our systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated research on the use of medical cannabis in pediatric populations, specifically examining the potential side effects, risks, and reasons for discontinuing treatment. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the safety of medical cannabis, helping healthcare providers, families, and caregivers make informed decisions that prioritize the health of children and youth. This research highlights the importance of further studies to assess the long-term impact of cannabinoids on child development and well-being.
