You strongly agree that they should regulate weed to be weaker so that you don't have to check potency before purchase? ok


Yes, there is something to be said about at least being more explicit on warning people about the dangers of consuming high % THC products.

An industry that can profit off addiction is being observed drastically increasing the level of an addictive substance in their product. You expect consumers to be perfectly informed. I don't. Thus, it is reasonable to discuss whether an at what threshold a product should be labelled as higher-risk. If the behavior of an industry seems malicious enough and its public health impact adverse enough, regulation is necessary.

I'm arguing in the abstract.


ok!


I didn't get that from the GP comment.

IIUC, they're just saying that they prefer less potency, but have trouble finding it in the current market.

That doesn't necessarily mean they want only weaker weed to be sold.


excuse me for interpreting "I just wish that we would take measures" as promoting regulation

edit to reply to below: California already has accurate labeling and is being called out as a problem


I assumed that they were talking about regulations requiring accurate labelling of THC and CBD concentrations.


Yes, that is what I meant


The original comment was from me. Measures include warnings and advertisements. They also include offering low dosage alternatives


Exactly!
