HELENA, Mont. — A law looking to limit marijuana dosage across the state took a step forward Thursday.
If passed, House Bill 636 would limit THC content in edibles to 5 milligrams per serving.
Supporters say it’s a way to reduce cannabis-related visits to the ER for anyone, but especially children.
An opponent worried lesser doses could have a negative impact on medical marijuana users.
“I think we start with that small dose. We know that things are legal now, so we can’t necessarily say we’re putting a stop, but I think if we can keep a few of the kids out of the ER and out of the mental issues out of this, then this deserves a green vote,” said State Rep. Denley Loge (R-St. Regis).
The bill is moving on to the third reading. If approved, it will land on the governor’s desk.
