Utah is looking to ban synthetic cannabinoids in medical marijuana products sold in the state
It comes after patients have anecdotally reported some reactions to products with the synthetics, which are a byproduct in the process to make some medical cannabis product. Chirine Touati, who uses medical cannabis to treat pain and nausea related to her multiple sclerosis, said she has experienced problems from what she suspects were synthetics.
"It was the state’s responsibility to appropriately label these products as safe for human consumption," she said."There’s not enough evidence to support these degradants are safe for human consumption." While TRUCE and the Utah Patients Coalition have disagreed in the past on synthetic THC, both groups support the Utah Department of Agriculture & Food's decision to request a ban.
"We ultimately decided to push forward legislation to just limit their presence since nobody really wanted them there anyway," he told FOX 13 News on Friday.
