Edible Cannabis Products: It is Time for FDA Oversight.

The legalization of cannabis (marijuana) for medical and recreational purposes in states throughout the US has greatly increased its availability and use by adults and teens. Much of the earlier research on cannabis focused on its administration by smoking. Very little recent research has been conducted on the administration of cannabis by the oral route, the presumption apparently being that the two routes of administration are equivalent in terms of both their psychoactive effects as well as toxicity. As the use of cannabis-laced “edibles” continues to increase, it is becoming clear that this presumption may not be correct. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
