PORTLAND, Maine (AP) Businesses in Maine offering edible marijuana products are hoping to grab a growing share of the market, though some worry about the appeal of edible products to children.
The Portland Press Herald reported on Sunday that infused products like gummies, beverages, chocolates and baked goods represent 14% of sales in the state.
The Maine Office of Marijuana Policy limits the THC content of any edible product to 10 milligrams per serving and 100 milligrams per package.
Edible marijuana products are legal for adults only in Maine, and the state prohibits the use of animals, people or fruit on any packaging. If children do eat edible products, they are more likely to experience severe symptoms.
