😚💨 Just like with alcohol or caffeine, consumers self-titrate their cannabis consumption based on product strength. NORML has consistently pushed back against the imposition of arbitrary THC potency limits on state-legal cannabis products, arguing that consumers distinguish between higher-potency and lower-potency cannabis products and moderate their consumption accordingly. 🔗 Link to story in comments.
