Thanks to the Clinton administration exempting everything except legitimate companies from government oversight, coupled with loosened marijuana laws, the amount of THC in edible marijuana products is completely unregulated. And they are allowed to look like candy and other treats.

It's dangerous.

A Virginia mother has been charged with murder because she claimed she only gave her 4-year-old half of one. Okay, she shouldn't even do that, unless she'd hand a 4-year-old a cigarette or oxycontin, but the police instead found an empty bottle and toxicology found very high levels of THC in the child's system - which was the cause of death. She's been charged with murder because she waited two days to get help, only because he fell unconscious at someone else's house.

The Biden administration is busy turning knobs for everything else using the full force of government yet these companies are selling products that are literally candy. How can this industry be the one thing he doesn't want FDA to regulate?
