In states where marijuana has been legalized, revenues for edibles have skyrocketed. Edibles are food products that contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the substance in marijuana that produces psychological effects, or cannabidiol (CBD). As marijuana businesses profit from these sales, some states are considering the taxation of marijuana products to fill budget gaps. Today, makers of edibles infuse varying quantities of THC into food products such as chocolate bars, beef jerky, soda, and more. However, even with these new marketing restrictions, emergency room visits for minors caused by inhaling or ingesting marijuana continue to rise.
