Testing legal THC gummies in Minnesota
Many THC edibles for sale on Minnesota’s shelves contain THC levels well beyond what’s currently allowed by state law, according to a lab analysis commissioned by the FOX 9 Investigators.

They do realize that you could just buy more. Even though I usually have my buddy pick some up when he goes, I notice the total amount in the bag is pretty consistent relative to the price. I'm sure there are some exceptions.
" I took 6 or 7 right away." The guy that works at the tobacco shop told me to eat half of a gummy. Plus the jar says so too. This old man thought they were candy and threw a whole bunch in his mouth lol 😆
The "i got drugged with gummies" thing is either a made up BS story or some teens pulled a douchey prank. Not that big of a deal. People should be allowed to sell any THC concentration they want, regulations should only be focused on ensuring that what is in the products is what it claims to be.

Am I missing something here? This guy is in a tobacco shop asking for "candy"; he then without any hesitation consumes some product handed to him in a package supposedly without any markings; and this is somehow made into a story about lack of regulation in the thc industry? If this is the best they can do to paint the industry in a negative light the industry is doing quite well. 😎 It sounds like you could have handed this guy some Tide pods or anything else and he would have consumed them just as he did with the edibles, he doesn't take any accountability for what he puts into his body.

The product that you said had 6 times the amount of THC shows that this piece is 100 percent misleading. There are numerous types of THC. Delta-8 and Delta-9. The limit is 5 mg of DELTA-9. YOu can have as much delta-8 as you want. The picture of the lab test on sample 'E' shows that the majority of the 32 mg of thc was Delta-8

Prohibition of Marijuana is why these other products even exist. If Cannabis was regulated in a legal market, this Hemp or "low level" THC would disappear.

The effects are no where near intoxicating at those levels, 5-10mg may be ok for someone new to cannibas who wants to try it but it’s essentially like going out and buying half a beer.

Sounds like a bonus with the extra
In NV there is label attached that shows the exact percentage of THC, etc on each package. So you know how much you are taking. People react differently to each dose, so start with a small amount, cutting the gummie in quarters and trying it one piece at a time, then wait an hour and see how you feel.
While I agree, if these products are going to be sold they would need to be regulated just as any other "Med" would be, I have to call BS on Tony. He just happened to be in a smoke shop that sells these products & his sugar dropped & he says that the store Employees gave him free product...Yeah, right?

30% of Minnesota are drunks and they don't have a problem with that...😂😂😂
As a cannabis user of 20yrs plus I need around 300mg in an edible I definitely think they should be tested and it be labeled correctly I've had to take up to 1000mg when my Lyme was bad and there should be tighter regs on fake THC products as I've seen wat some of those are like and it's possible not safe to consume. I think it's important to keep the higher THC edibles but properly labeling is key some can't function on a large dose but others need it.
Lesson learned. Don’t take candy from strangers
50x the limit is stoner standards😭
Some dumb guy that goes into a Head Shop looking for candy, and gets something that makes him feel totally off unexpectedly…this is not in any way showing the danger of the product. He left with a story. It does show the danger of miscommunication though.

Could be wrong but I thought the farm act hemp bill allows for 0.3 % delta 9 thc by dry weight on the federal level. So for example if a treat weighs seven grams or so they can put quite a few milligrams in it.
