Roers said the bill, advanced by the state’s Medical Marijuana Advisory Board, strives to address differences in THC amounts in differing products and to move patients away from dried leaves and flowers to manufactured products, which she said have a consistent dose of THC.
Products’ THC amounts can vary such that purchasing two of the same item would surpass the 4,000-milligram limit for patients who prefer certain manufactured products over dried leaves and flowers, according to Roers.
