A5: Safe storage is the number 1 way to reduce risk of children getting into edibles. It’s best to treat edibles like medicine and keep them locked up, out of reach, and in childproof containers. There is no judgment about you having edibles in your home

Doctors love when a patient comes in with the diagnosis already! We skip any time having to figure it out and can jump straight to HELPING. Accidents happen and no one judges you for that. Being a parent is hard!
