Minnesotans are now able to legally possess and grow their own marijuana for recreational purposes, after the Minnesota Legislature approved a 300-page bill earlier this year, and Gov. Tim Walz signed it into law shortly thereafter. It became official Tuesday.

That's like 8 whole packs of gummies. If you eat 800mg you're about to send yourself to the shadow realm.

Edit: oh wait...

800 milligrams worth of THC-containing edible products

That is very weirdly worded. If we're talking about the weight of the product and not the dose then that's really stupid.

The article just described the law wrong. It does use the dose of THC in the actual law.

That was my point. Thankfully the bill was better written than the article.

I’m just picturing all the stories of people “accidentally” eating an entire 100 mg chocolate bar after being unable to wait an hour for it to kick in, and then imagine those schmucks taking 8x that dose.
