The Massachusetts cannabis industry is grappling with significant health concerns regarding mold in marijuana products, as highlighted by the recent report from the state Cannabis Control Commission (CCC). While lab findings indicate a widespread mold issue affecting over 55% of sampled products, there have been no product recalls or reports of illness. Concerns have been raised about the adequacy of regulatory responses, as both laboratory professionals and worker advocates urge for stricter safety measures to shield consumers from potential health risks, particularly those with compromised immune systems.
Health experts emphasize that moldy marijuana products can lead to severe respiratory issues and allergic reactions, particularly affecting individuals with weakened immune systems.
Christopher Hudalla, a cannabis testing expert, pointed out the concerning lack of product recalls in Massachusetts, questioning the regulatory response to safety concerns raised by labs.
