Consumption of hemp-containing foods with high amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) can significantly affect your health, reveals a new study.

‘Consumption of hemp-containing foods with high amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) can do more harm than good.’

It is also possible when consuming foods containing hemp that Δ9-THC doses could be ingested which lie within the range of the doses of > 2.5 milligrams (mg) per person and day used in pharmaceutical products, in which case pharmacological effects would be expected. 




As the occurrence of psychomotoric effects such as reduced reaction capability or tiredness has to be expected in this dosage range, restrictions in a person's ability to drive or operate dangerous machines can be connected with the consumption of foods containing hemp. This applies in particular to high consumers of products of this kind.
The psychomotoric effects can also be enhanced by the consumption of alcohol and certain other drugs. In the opinion of the BfR, the levels of Δ9-THC in hemp-containing foods should, therefore, be further minimized.
