The sale of packaged marijuana products that resemble popular food brands continues to pose a grave risk to the health and safety of children. The problem seems to persist even though every state that legalized recreational cannabis has set an age limit banning those under 21 from accessing cannabis shops.
Government agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) routinely issue warnings cautioning about accidental ingestion by children of food products containing THC. Moreover, a recent study led by NYU School of Global Public Health researchers showed that “copycat” edibles could have levels of tetrahydrocannabinol or THC “that far exceed the limits set by state cannabis regulations” and may be easily confused for popular snack foods.
