SAN DIEGO CITY COUNCIL GOES HALFWAY ON POT REGULATIONS
The San Diego City Council took an important step last week to further regulate the operations of medical marijuana dispensaries that will soon be opening legally in the city. But the council only went halfway to a responsible policy. Its failure to require dispensaries to disclose the potency of its products and to restrict edible marijuana products will almost certainly come back to haunt.
Among the approved regulations was a requirement for background checks of dispensary employees. That is essential to keeping the dispensaries as crime-free as possible and should have been an obvious requirement from the start. Another provision calls for the testing of marijuana products for mold and pesticides. That is critical to consumer health. Even Medical Jane, a pro-marijuana information and advocacy group, has warned, "Some companies use edibles as a way to dispose of marijuana that otherwise couldn't be sold; like buds heavily laden with spider mites or mold."
But the experience so far of states like Colorado and Washington that have legalized recreational use of marijuana shows that one of the more significant problems is with edible marijuana products.
