Study finds legal cannabis products may have lower THC levels than advertised.
TL;DR Summary
A study conducted by researchers at the University of Northern Colorado found that the potency of cannabis sold at several Colorado dispensaries was lower than what was promised on the labels. The lack of regulation in the cannabis industry suggests that many buyers may be getting duped into believing their purchase will have a stronger concentration of THC. Recreational cannabis is legal in 21 states and D.C., but researchers say there is not enough oversight of the dose of THC a person might get when buying marijuana, whether it is to be smoked, vaped or eaten.
