Recreational cannabis users in Michigan may see the overall THC content of their edible products doubling in the coming months.
The state's Cannabis Regulatory Agency — or CRA — is raising the maximum THC content for adult-use edibles to 200 milligrams per package.
Shelly Edgerton is the board chair of the Michigan Cannabis Manufacturers Association.
She says the changes started with a conversation over tinctures and oils that had fallen into a regulatory grey area.
"We definitely have an evolution of products on a constant basis and sometimes, you know, I believe CRA's just not caught up yet to what's common practice, but they started to require enforcement against some licensees, so a lot of processors brought this to attention."
The state's new rules also set guidance for what those oils and tinctures can contain.
