What's on your weed label? 86% of products lack required information
The Brief
- A University of Colorado Boulder study found that only one in seven cannabis products sold at Colorado dispensaries included all required warning labels.
- More than half of flower (bud) products misrepresented THC levels, according to the research.
- The headline figure is that 86% of products lack required label information.
Why it matters
The findings show that consumers buying cannabis at Colorado dispensaries often cannot rely on labels for warnings or accurate THC content, which matters for anyone assessing dosage or health risks.
