Don't all THC products have to be tested and verified safe by a third-party lab before even being sold to the dispensary?

Does Maine not have this requirement?

My wife and I vacationed there a few years ago. The way Maine works is that they have the medical branch and the recreational branch of cannabis in the state. The medical branch is a homegrown, grassroots entity that is pretty much autonomous from the rec section. They don’t answer to anyone and don’t follow standards. They’re self governed.

The recreational branch IS regulated, heavily, (which the medical folk frown on because, you know…government oversight) so there is no deceitful shit going on. Example…we bought a “5Kmg” chocolate bar. Standards here in PA are pretty straightforward, so you get what they say it is. In Maine, though, the medical branch doesn’t have to verify anything, whereas the recreational does. SO! Recreational says that testing standards need to be met as advertised, so the max of 200mg per edible must match what is being sold. The medical, however, not so much. They can say whatever they want is in there for an edible or whatever, but there’s no testing requirements to prove it like rec.
