| TITLE: VCS comments against proposed CA regulation, DCC-2025-02-R, limiting of 1 mg THC per package DESCRIPTION: A signed letter from the VCS stating that the DCC’s choice of the one (1) mg THC limitation in §17350(d) and the underlying rationale are fundamentally flawed on legal, medical, and scientific grounds.
