What's Really in Marijuana Extracts? These Products Are Often Mislabeled

Marijuana extracts containing the potentially beneficial compound cannabidiol are available to purchase online, but a new study finds that buyers of these products often don't get what they pay for: The products frequently contain higher or lower doses of cannabidiol than what's listed on the label. What's more, the study found that some cannabidiol products also contained tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient in marijuana that gets people high, even though THC wasn't listed on the label. The findings are worrisome because mislabeled cannabidiol products could potentially harm consumers, the researchers said.
