Is this in the US? What state? I've only seen menus in NJ, IL, and most edibles are like 5-10mg per piece and seem to top out at 25mg per piece, but those tend to be big pieces that look like they are meant to be broken apart (like a Hershey bar).

I think setting national standards around this would be just one benefit of legalizing recreational use at the federal level.

I know that michigan has a law that allows for private transactions between medical smokers and licensed "caretakers". These caretakers are basically unregulated, so they can have a huge greenhouse operation with just a couple patients. People in Chicago drive to michigan to get the caretakers "extra" product.

In Colorado I saw gummies and candies ranging from 5 to 25mg per piece. Chocolate bars with up to 100MG per bar (the size of a typical chocolate bar). Single serving granola packs with THC honey in 50 and 75mg types. IIRC nothing stronger than 100mg per item was allowed but I was only passing through the state.

You can get gummies like this in IL, but just not from the dispensaries. Plenty of people make the drive from Michigan to sell to their friends here.

Last time I went to the dispensary near me in Michigan, the budtender started off with the 100mg gummies when I said I was looking for edibles.

mmm yeah I've seen those in Washington Square in NYC

We don't have anything that high in California

also edibles are practically a different drug after being processed by the liver, we should study them completely separately

we should have high quality studies for specific use cases, just like corporate designer drugs that go through the FDA

but we currently have... whatever this is.
