Vegan Melatonin Gummies: A Natural Sleep Aid

h2 Benefits of Vegan Melatonin Gummies:

- Helps regulate sleep-wake cycles
- Promotes leisure and restful sleep
- Supports general well-being and psychological health
- Convenient and engaging way to consume melatonin

h3 Why Choose VeAt least 290 American children have suffered brutal, preventable deaths linked to marijuana over the last decade, according to an analysis seen exclusively by DailyMail.com.

The highest proportion of deaths - 95 - involved extreme violence, the dossier of reports show.

This includes the case of a Texan man who murdered his girlfriend and nine-month baby with a pocket-knife while suffering what was believed to be a cannabis-induced psychotic episode.

Another perturbed example is the case of two year-old Jacob Pelletier from New Hampshire, who was beaten to death by his mother's boyfriend in December 2017.




Two year-old Jacob Pelletier was killed in 2017 by his mother's boyfriend, who, shortly before the attack, had ran out of the marijuana he relied upon to 'manage his emotions'

Court records reference the defendant's ‘regular use of marijuana to manage his emotions' and ‘self-medicate'. 

Significantly, the killer admitted he had run out of his supply of the drug on the day of the offense, which was offered as an explanation of his extreme behavior in court. 

Studies show that regular use of marijuana is linked to a five-fold increased risk of psychotic illness. 

Also significant is the 2020 death of eight-month-old Josiah Guyton, who sustained fatal injuries after being ‘forcibly hit against a table and dresser' by his mother's boyfriend, Jermaine Abron.

According to the petition filed in 2020 at the Family Division of Kent County Circuit Court, Abron and Josiah's mother Jada were often high on marijuana when taking care of him.




Eight-month-old Josiah Guyton was unable to breathe yet his mother left him to go and smoke marijuana with her boyfriend

Following the attack, Guyton is said to have left her baby face down and gasping in order to go into another room and smoke marijuana with Abron.

The dossier has sparked a wave of uproar among campaigners, who say it proves that 'children are paying the price' for 'the disaster' that is cannabis legalization. 

The psychoactive drug is currently legal for recreational use in 24 states, and medicinal use in 38 states.

'It's the kids that ultimately suffer,' says Heidi Swan, campaigner and co-author of A Night in Jail: a story of teen drug use and mental illness.

'It is shocking how socially acceptable marijuana has become: there is no shame around using the drug - even around children.

'If you are a caregiver you should not be losing touch with time or reality, or become too "chill".'

Other cases are classed as neglect - with parents or guardians too intoxicated to manage parental responsibilities.

This includes several alarming stories of suffocation, such as the Illinois mother who covered the nose and mouth of her four year-old daughter Emily Rose while shouting, 'I'm sending Emily to see Jesus'. 

The 36 year-old, who suffered mental health problems, smoked marijuana in the hour before the attack. 

In 2018, 20 year-old Eve Hallman, from Pennsylvania, was charged with involuntary manslaughter after she rolled over her two-month-old baby on the couch while sleeping after smoking marijuana. 




Emily Rose Perrin, who suffered cystic fibrosis, was suffocated and killed by her mother who is believed to have been experiencing psychiatric illness related to cannabis use

Three years prior, Sean St Amand from Maine was sentenced to three years in jail for manslaughter after his 11-month-old son drowned in a bathtub.

 St Amand had failed to check up on him because he'd been smoking marijuana in the adjacent room with a friend, according to local reports.

Police said they smelled marijuana when they entered the apartment and that drug paraphernalia was in plain sight.

Other, similar cases of neglect include the woman responsible for the fatal drowning of not one, but two, young children due to her weed high, and 18 year-old Henry Bartle, who accidentally shot his girlfriend's baby in the head while stoned.

Similarly, earlier this year, two-year-old Kiaire McCoy got hold of his mom's boyfriend's handgun and accidentally shot himself while the boyfriend was 'high on marijuana and scrolling on his phone'.

These are just a small number of examples of horrific crimes that have taken place all over the US in which marijuana was somehow involved. 

Although not all of the evidence offers conclusive proof that marijuana contributed to the death, the drug is mentioned as a factor in local news reports, court and police documents. 

And speaking to DailyMail.com, experts say the lack of accurate testing and monitoring of the drug's role in such events means the true number of marijuana-related deaths are likely under-estimated.




Kiaire McCoy got hold of his mother's ex-boyfriend's loaded gun and shot himself earlier this year. The gun owner was supposed to be watching Kiaire but 'zoned out' while high on marijuana

'There will likely be many more cases of child harm due to marijuana than the ones that we know about,' says Dr Timothy Fong, faculty leadership of the Cannabis Research Initiative at University of California, Los Angeles and clinical psychiatrist. 

'Often when something awful happens, blood tests for marijuana aren't performed and it isn't always checked for in the emergency room either.

'We've had cases of, say, a dad coming into the ER who's fallen from a roof and no one is quite sure what's happened, and cannabis might be involved.

'Maybe they don't test for it because there's a lot going on and it's all very messy.

'Plus, marijuana is so normalized in so many states, there's not always a suspicion that the drug could be at least in part to blame.' 

Dr Fong says cases like these, in which someone comes to harm, occur 'every day and night'.

'But how many exactly? We just don't know. The country is not yet set up to monitor these types of cases.'

For the new analysis, campaign group Parents Opposed to Pot scoured local reports and court documents for details on child abuse cases involving marijuana since 2012.

They uncovered at least 290 fatal cases of accidental shootings, drowning, arson, violence and mistaken ingestion involving marijuana.

In a minority of cases, marijuana was not the only drug involved - alcohol and narcotics were also referenced in local news reports and court records.

However, experts say abuse or neglect cases involving marijuana are becoming increasingly common.

One social worker, who works with neglect and abuse cases and is based in Florida - one of 26 states where weed is not legal recreationally - told DailyMail.com: 'I have had some more cases involving marijuana since the drug was made legal for medical use in the state.

'Often the parents are insistent that they need the drug because they see it as medicinal.

'In one case, the parents had stopped taking narcotics and had moved on to cannabis because they thought it was "safer", but then they got into a situation where they relied on it daily out of fear of turning to something stronger.




Of all drugs, marijuana was the most common contributor to a child death in Arizona in 2019, according to the Arizona Child Fatality Review Team

'But I've seen that marijuana can make parents fall asleep or prioritise using it over looking after their kids - be that financially or with their time.' 

Dr Fong adds: 'Yes, we are seeing it [increasing cases of marijuana-related child harms].

'If you look at the number of poision reports related to marijuana in children, they have risen in California. In other words, kids ingesting weed either with or without their parents' knowledge.

'And then there's cases where adults become intoxicated, and bad things happen. But there is a false sense of safety around cannabis. Where is the messaging that says to parents: this is not something to be done around children.'

The destructive influence of marijuana is thought to be due to the impact of THC on the brain.

Studies show that the substance interferes with signaling in parts of the brain involved with emotion, mood and movement.

While some pro-marijuana activists say the drug is calming and even promote it as a treatment for anxiety and stress, experts say this is wildly misguided. 

'There is not yet any proof that marijuana is useful for any mental health problem,' says Dr Fong.

'But what we do know, pretty conclusively, is that it can lead to psychiatric illness.' 

The findings come a week after Bille Sue VanDyke from West Virginia was charged with child neglect resulting in injury after her child was left ‘comatose' and needing hospital treatment after eating half a cannabis gummy containing 350mg of THC.

VanDyke told investigators she fell asleep for about two hours and when she woke up she found her child lying on the bed and had a hard time waking him up.

A 2021 analysis of public health data found 7043 cases of accidental ingestion of marijuana in children under six between 2017 and 2021 - an increase of more than 130 per cent.

A fifth of these young people were hospitalized.

During this time, the number of states where recreational marijuana use is legal doubled.

Removing rules against the drug is said, by pro-cannabis lobbyists, to result in a range of social and health benefits.

Reducing organized crime, freeing up space in prisons, generating tax revenues for states and regulation over the quality and potency of weed are just a few.

However, recent major reviews into the net impact of legalization have concluded that the nationwide shift has had ‘a number of negative consequences', and more research is needed to predict long-term impacts.




Earlier this month Bille Sue VanDyke, 25, from West Virginia was charged with neglect after her child was hospitalized with complications related with marijuana. Her 3 year-old ate a gummy containing 350mg of THC, and began vomiting and before reaching a 'comatose' state

 

Meanwhile, the illegal cannabis market in California is booming, estimated to be worth £6 billion - twice that of the legal industry.

Scott Chipman of Citizens Against Legalizing Marijuana previously told DailyMail.com: 'These operations charge far less for high-potency products because they have no overheads, which is popular with customers.'

But two 2019 analyses concluded that the tax revenue from Californian dispensaries was 'far lower than expected'.

Pro-legalization campaigners have also suggested that increased accessibility to marijuana will reduce the number of users of more potent, addictive drugs, like fentanyl.

However, the latest data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention shows overdoses have reached record highs.

More than 111,000 people died from a drug overdose between April 2022 and 2023 - up roughly 1,000 from the year previously, the figures show.

Also noteworthy is the rise in serious traffic accidents involving cannabis.

A study published in the journal JAMA network open in September noted that marijuana-related accidents that led to hospital treatment rose 475 per cent since 2010.

Some research has found that, while the rate of reported child maltreatment has increased with marijuana legalization, the number of related fatalities has dropped overall.

A recent national analysis by a criminal justice expert from the University of South Florida found a 9.8 per cent increase in reported maltreatment cases since 1995 in states where marijuana is legal, compared to no rise in other states.

The study also found that states allowing home cultivation of the drug have seen a 24.6 per cent increase in reported incidences of maltreatment in the last 18 years.

Yet, interestingly, fewer children are dying of abuse and neglect.

Researchers have put this dichotomy down to an increase in reporting of marijuana-related harms, as the drug has become more normalized and accepted in society.

Meanwhile, the debate as to whether or not smoking marijuana in pregnancy constitutes neglect continues to grow.

 Growing evidence has linked using pot in pregnancy to low birth low birth weight, premature deliveries and admission to neonatal urgent care.

'But we still have so much to learn,' says Dr Fong. 'We haven't established anything as serious as foetal alcohol syndrome yet.

'But we also haven't studied many of the products that women these days are using, such as edibles with a high concentration of THC.

'My OBGYN colleagues see women who would rather take cannabis for symptoms like nausea and vomiting than treatments that are medically established - and they find this frustrating.'

Two high-profile cases have thrust the issue further into the spotlight this year. In both, charges of neglect brought before mothers who smoked marijuana in pregnancy were redacted.

A representative of the New York City child welfare agency, which ruled in favor of one of the mothers, said: 'A case should not be indicated solely because a parent is using marijuana, but instead CPS should assess the impact, if any, on the safety and wellbeing of the child.'

However, in some states - including those in which marijuana is legal - using the drug in pregnancy is considered child abuse.

And according to federal law, medical professionals treating these women must report them to social services.

'It's a huge ethical dilemma that hasn't been properly thought through,' says Dr Fong.

'On one hand you're exposing your unborn child to a federally banned substance. But on the other, it essentially falls under the same category of alcohol, and we don't report mothers who drink a glass of wine or two in pregnancy to authorites. 

'Where do the mother's rights end and the foetus' begin? These are all questions we need to start thinking about.'
