BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — When the House and Senate passed the government funding bill that the President signed just over a week ago, a small provision tucked away inside it massively changes marijuana consumption in the United States.
The new rule bans any product that contains more than 0.4 milligrams of THC per container.
Just a tiny amount compared to what’s currently sold.
Oregon Senator, Ron Wyden, was outspoken about the ban.
“This is a hugely important AG product, and at the same time, protect our kids from edibles and various other approaches designed to addict them at an early age,” Sen. Wyden told KTVZ News. “I think adults who want to use this product safely ought to have the chance to do it. But I don’t want to see kids get sick in the process.”
There are members of the House who are already working on a reversal of this provision.
