Legalizing it Made It Worse For Growers, Manufactures, and Dispensaries To Sell

Legalizing it Made It Worse For Growers, Manufactures, and Dispensaries To Sell
Now that marijuana is legal in California, marijuana products are being rejected by the state. Regrettably, new laws come with new regulations. Mandatory statewide testing is a new regulation have rejected 20% of the marijuana products due to new potency and purity requirements. Since recreational marijuana was legalized in California on Janurary 1, 2018 dispensaries had 6 months to sell all of the manufactured products, leaving nothing behind.

The problem is not in the dispensaries, it is not in the cultivators, nor the manufacturers that hit too tiny a target when gauging levels of THC. The regulations are that the THC concentration needs to be within 10 percent of what is advertised on the product level. So if they are tiny amounts over the limit, they are being rejected as well. Out of 11,000 samples tested in the first two months, 2,000 failed to make the cut. In most cases, the products had to be destroyed. This is really bad for marijuana businesses that rely on the test results.

What does this strict state program look for like?
