As promised late last year, Massachusetts cannabis regulators plan to begin examining whether THC potency reported on product labels is accurate.
The state’s Cannabis Control Commission announced Friday it will audit products and take action if test results aren’t close to what the label says.
“Verifying that marijuana and marijuana products are accurately labeled is critical to the Commission’s mission of safety, equitably, and effectively providing Massachusetts residents access to this industry,” CCC Executive Director Travis Ahern said in a statement.
What action is Massachusetts taking on cannabis potency inflation?
According to the CCC, the actual THC percentage must be within 75% to 125% of what is printed on the product label.
For example, if a label says 15% THC, test results must fall between 11.25% and 18.75% to be compliant.
If a product tests at 4% THC, it’s out of compliance and could be pulled from stores until the problem is fixed.
The newly appointed commission can also send reports of mislabeled products to the state attorney general for further action.
