It doesn't surprise us that the lead headline in Monday's Star Tribune read "THC market proves tough to monitor" and that enforcement is almost nonexistent. What else did you expect?
Just to clear up a couple of statements in the article: Delta-8 THC is less psychogenic than delta-9 THC, so it's not entirely accurate to refer to delta-8 as highly potent (unless of course, someone ingests a very large amount of it). The article also implies that 5 milligrams of THC is considered a low dose. This not a low dose for all consumers. Other states' edibles may contain anywhere from 12 to 25 milligrams of THC, yet as an article from two weeks ago reported, even 5 mg can produce a pretty good buzz to a non-regular or new user, or a serious reaction by a child.
Here is a list of other things that were not covered by the covert legalization effort for this product in Minnesota:
• Taxes.
• Treatment.
• Prevention and education.
