The proposed Senate Bill 443 seeks to limit the THC content in marijuana products, including flower, concentrates, and edibles, to 15 percent. This measure would severely impact local cannabis businesses and infringe upon consumer rights. Higher THC levels are essential for many individuals seeking effective pain management and therapeutic benefits. Restricting access to higher potency products would force consumers to seek alternatives from unregulated sources, potentially compromising safety and quality control. Personal choice and freedom in cannabis consumption should be respected, as individuals have the right to determine the most suitable treatment for their needs. This bill represents an unjustified overreach that could cripple the legal cannabis industry and deprive consumers of access to the products they require. I urge you to oppose Senate Bill 443 and uphold the principles of personal liberty and consumer choice in Montana's cannabis market.
