Why I Wrote Potency Caps Are Needed to Protect Kids

Washington State Representative, Lauren Davis, has tried two times to put potency caps on THC products. Several other states have made efforts, as well. Colorado’s legislature, for example, heard countless hours of testimony from teens, parents, and educators/caregivers about the mental and physical harms of ultra-high potency THC products. Still, the industry has very few guardrails. Most of America has no idea about the dangers of low potency marijuana. When a young person today has negative effects from the ultra -high potency products, their families are completely blindsided. I grew up in Washington so I wrote this letter in support of instituting potency caps. It was kindly published by Herald.Net.
