Proposed bills pushing to regulate high-potency cannabis products in Washington
It has been 11 years since the state of Washington legalized the recreational use and sale of marijuana. Now, there are two bills aiming to address high-potency cannabis products.
“The cannabis industry has made it very clear they are not interested in prevention; they’re interested in profit,” said Rep. Lauren Davis, D-Shoreline.
Strong words from Rep. Davis who is proposing two bills this legislative session. Right now, buyers pay a 37% excise tax on cannabis products, the first bill would raise that as much as 65% on products with at least 60% in potency. It also requires warning labels for those products and prohibits sales to anyone under 25.
“Research study after research study, particularly in the last several years showing these products cause psychotic disorders, particularly in individuals under the age of 25,” said Davis.

If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Try And Fix It!
…Fentanyl?
Cant believe Pot is legal, anything for a buck. It makes you stupid and inpairs your judgement. Who’s the person to ok this, they must have been smoking it to rhink it’s a good decision.
What’s the data driving this based on how Washington state has been impacted? I’ve heard studies cited that this effect can occur but what’s the real world outlook so far? High potency cannabis wasn’t invented yesterday…
Some one get this hag out of the building. Your just going to open a black market
Yes Yes More Regulation is necessary! And if the age 25+ is not driving people crazy or sick with CHS just change the age limits for concentrates to 26 and change the THC limits for the younger population to 26% max
WA State LAW MAKERS FAIL INJURED WORKERS SEEKING MEDICAL MJ.
What the government needs to do is ban alcohol you know how many people would still be alive and out of prison like the lady just said it’s all about profit
Well they voted it in, so im sure this will get voted out. Who knows, im medical in washington state but dont use high potency products by their definition
Internet psychosis is much worse 😵💫
"Research study after research study, particularly in the last several years showing these products cause psychotic disorders, particularly in individuals under the age of 25" — Davis
Maybe she should consider making the legal age of alcohol consumption 25 years of age as part of her "campaign" because…

Up the age for usage lmaooo do u want me to riot lololol take my weed ig bro just another reason to crash out
WTF. NO.
ALL businesses are in it for profit. What even is this logic 🤦♀️
What an uneducated nutcase.
Half-truths and lies by omission allow "potent" THC theories while hiding the source of this challenge, which certainly ain’t to add more contaminants than already come with indu$trialized mari-caca just to boost contaminated statistics, blaming "strange" illnesses on it while over/billing/over-taxing as if there’s no tomorrow…
Still cheaper to buy it off the street.
Read a book about cannabis u bone heads… YALL ARE CLUELESS!!
Big PHARMA threatened again
