One needs to consider the potential danger of an unsuspecting person especially children possibly consuming 3—5 of the There was a lack of basic packaging and labeling requirements and a wide variation in the cannabinoid content of the edibles studied in this research.
This comes as no surprise since the Dangerous Drug Act Amendment in outlines no laws specifically related to edibles. All the products mimic well-liked snacks and sweets and were not presented in child-resistant packaging, a situation that could increase the likelihood of accidental consumption by young children or entice teens into using cannabis. The lack of accurate labeling and the wide range of potency of edibles also raises public health concerns for adult users who are at risk of overdosing since, unlike smoking, they are unable to self-titrate the dosage.
Prior to decriminalization in , the collection of marijuana edibles was challenging, and products could hardly be sourced openly, which resulted in the collection of only two samples. It was post-decriminalization that the remaining 43 samples of the test set became readily available and the variety of products expanded. Another limitation is that convenient sampling was utilized which could have resulted in the under-representation of product categories such as frozen food, beverages, and chocolates.
Convenience sampling also limits the ability to generalize the potency of cannabis edibles in Jamaica. This study provided valuable information in regard to the edibles on the Jamaican market after cannabis policy reform and has subsequently influenced policy and resulted in the Jamaican Government imposing a ban on the sale of edibles at festivals and concerts.
This move was a move that was criticized by commercial producers who saw possible business opportunities emerging from the production of edibles for the tourism and the medicinal marijuana industries. Given the findings of this study, it is obvious that before any consideration on lifting the ban on edibles that a robust regulatory system be implemented that maintains the following conditions: i proper labeling standards are established and enforced, ii THC and CBD levels are declared, iii the manufacturing or packaging of edibles that appeal to youth are prohibited and the government regulates what is sold, iv childproof packaging is used in accordance with proposed standards set by the Jamaican Government, v potency levels are regulated, and vi methods for producing edibles are standardized.
The ban has no impact however on homemakers who prepare edibles for personal use or for sale in schools. Unfortunately, these cases might go undetected until they present as overdosing events at the emergency room. Though this study was focused on the potency, it would be worthwhile to conduct investigations into the possible presence of harmful contaminants such as pesticides, solvents, and mycotoxins in edibles.
There appears to be a demand for cannabis-infused edibles as an alternative to smoking in the cannabis market. If the government is to consider the decriminalization of edibles, then the sale and production by dispensaries should be regulated as cannabis buds and other cannabis-related products. Small businesses engaged in edible production should be forced to be licensed or they should channel their products through licensed strictly regulated dispensaries.
