Florida State Consultant Ralph Massullo has introduced a bill proposing limitations on the efficiency of hashish within the occasion that adult-use marijuana is legalized within the state later this yr. The proposed laws seeks to set a most THC content material of 10% for hashish merchandise supposed for smoking and 60% for concentrates. Moreover, marijuana edibles could be topic to a cap of 200 milligrams of THC per bundle and 10 milligrams per serving.
The textual content of the invoice reads:
Marijuana for private use might not have a tetrahydrocannabinol efficiency, by weight or quantity, of larger than 10 p.c for marijuana in a kind for smoking or larger than 60 p.c within the closing product for all different types of marijuana, excluding edibles. Edibles for private use might not comprise greater than 200 milligrams of tetrahydrocannabinol and a single serving portion of an edible might not exceed 10 milligrams of tetrahydrocannabinol.
Contemplating that almost all hashish on the market in different adult-use markets is over 15% THC and that the rule would apply solely to adult-use hashish, not the present medical hashish market in Florida, the invoice would inherently give medical hashish manufacturers a big benefit. Nevertheless, the potential of Florida voters encountering an adult-use legalization measure on their November ballots remains to be in query.
A marketing campaign named Good & Secure Florida has garnered sufficient signatures to doubtlessly qualify for the 2024 poll, however the Florida Supreme Courtroom is at present deliberating on a constitutional problem in opposition to the measure, initiated by Florida Lawyer Normal Ashley Moody.
A lot of the marketing campaign’s funding, roughly $39.5 million, reportedly comes from Trulieve, a multi-state, publicly-traded hashish model. Moody has accused Trulieve of making an attempt to monopolize the authorized hashish market in Florida by means of this initiative.
Regardless of its introduction, the invoice’s possibilities of success stay unsure. Earlier makes an attempt to restrict hashish flower efficiency to 10% THC haven’t handed. For the measure to move, it might require approval from 60% of voters.
