POTENCY IN POT WILL BE REGULATED UNDER NEW MEDICAL CANNABIS LAW

Sam Quinones makes an impassioned plea for state regulation of legal cannabis potency levels to safeguard children and to protect responsible adult cannabis users in his story, "Regulate potency in pot before legalizing it" ( Forum, Aug.  21 ).

I agree, and it is exactly why I, along with a bipartisan coalition of legislators, authored the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act, which was signed by Gov.  Jerry Brown last year and provides California's first comprehensive regulations for medical cannabis to protect patients, promote public safety and preserve the environment.

Under this legislation, California regulators, including the new Bureau of Medical Cannabis Regulation and the Department of Public Health, will require full disclosure of medical cannabis potency and have the authority to impose scientifically appropriate limits on the potency levels of medical cannabis and medical cannabis products.
