A few miles from the clinic, at University Hospital Lewisham, consultant Diego Quattrone, who runs the psychiatric intensive care unit, says that at least 80% of new admissions report cannabis use. He feels the dangers of the drug are overlooked, adding that use is “among the strongest factors associated with violence before and during admission”. Meanwhile, “daily use of high-potency cannabis” is associated with “a distinct subtype of violence driven by psychotic symptoms, such as paranoid delusions and hallucinations”.

Broward County Public Schools sent Local 10 a statement which read:
“The school’s administration confirmed several students were treated and four students were transported for medical evaluation today after consuming candy or food believed to have been laced with an unknown substance. Out of an abundance of caution, emergency services were contacted immediately and students received appropriate care.
“School and District administrators are working with authorities to determine the source of the food and ensure student safety. Parents are reminded to speak to their child(ren) about not sharing or eating food or candy that does not come from home and to report anything concerning to a trusted adult.”

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) — While most of the public attention on the newly passed federal funding bill has centered on air travel delays and furloughed workers, a lesser-known provision tucked inside the legislation is sending shockwaves through the hemp industry: a ban on nearly all hemp-derived products.
At the center of the issue is THC — the psychoactive compound in cannabis and hemp responsible for producing a high. 
Millard explained that even common items like CBD tinctures, which are generally small, would fall above the new limit.
“Even one dropper of a full spectrum CBD would have, somewhere between, half a milligram to maybe, one milligram of THC,” he said.
Hemp became federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, signed by President Donald Trump. 
That law removed hemp from the Controlled Substances Act and legalized all parts of the plant as long as products contained no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC.
However, industry leaders say lawmakers did not anticipate how extraction techniques would evolve.
“What he didn’t know or anticipate, and neither did most lawmakers, is that guys in hazmat suits and scientists were actually going to figure out how to spin the plant and extract psychotropic THC out of out of the hemp plant and create psychotropic products,” said Nick Garulay, owner of the medical marijuana service provider My Florida Green and RevitaOil CBD.
Garulay said this loophole opened the door to products containing extremely high THC levels — far beyond what most patients use.
“The normal dose for THC, for someone who is looking for relief is usually between 5 and 10 milligrams. You have places that are selling a thousand and 10,000 milligram gummies, which will put you in the hospital, especially if you’re not expecting it,” he said.
The measure will not take effect until late next year, giving the industry time to respond.
The U.S. Hemp Roundtable, a national hemp advocacy organization, said it plans to spend the next 365 days pushing federal officials to pursue regulation rather than prohibition.
