According to the Oklahoma Poison Control Center, those who have guests over this holiday season should make sure to offer them a safe place to store medication. Officials also advise keeping cleaning products locked in a secure cabinet.

The center recommends families keep marijuana products, like edibles, away and out of sight of kids.
