Customers are being advised not to consume the products.
The following batches are being recalled:

Anyone know who’s selling this so I can warn them obviously…
@fuzzydunlop: Big Pharma don’t want people to know about the benefits! They and doctors need people to be sick! They don’t want us to know that it fights cancer, cancels seizures, lowers blood pressure, reduces blood pressure, reduces inflammation,fights gastro problems, gets rid of insomnia, big pain relief etc…We are so behind the times! Anyone reading this in 30 years time are going to laugh at these excuses!
@Rita Heneghan: Fights cancer while simultaneously raising the risk of getting cancer?
Unsafe ? As in you might feel relaxed and get a dose of the munchies ? At least the journal had the sense to put the word in quotation marks.
@Declan Doherty: I see a boom in sales after this article.
@Declan Doherty: Not a hope, their definition of unsafe is just barely above detectable.
These CBD things are a rip off anyway, most of the “extracts” contain less CBD by weight than the whole plant.
“Eye rolling emoji”
It’s a joke, the sooner our elder politicians are replaced with younger more vibrant people who have been around the block globally and understand that cannabis is so beneficial for so many ailments. Nothing wrong with a little THC, it’s certainly not poisonous, nobody has ever reportedly overdosed on it. I’ve nowt against alcohol but its actually a poison that’s used in cleaning chemicals and only yesterday a bloke died after drinking a bottle of Yagermeister in 2 minutes. You could smoke a meadow of weed without putting your body in danger.
@Frank Cauldhame: Yesterday a court in Cork sentenced a medical access campaigner to 2 months in prison for a CBD joint. I’d watched him present at an Oireachtas committee on decriminalisation the day before saying he has epilepsy and is forced to get his cannabis on the black market. People have been lied to. Cannabis isn’t the bogey man they’ve been told it is and the sky hasn’t fallen anywhere it’s been legalised. We have to stop ruining people lives for the sake of a plant. It’s insane.
@Declan Doherty: I know, they always throw it in there with cocaine/Heroin etc. even though they are class A narcotics. I’ve friends living in California and you can literally walk into a cannabis dispensary, tell the assistant what you need it for (without a prescription) and buy it, state taxes included in the cost. We need to change the mindset of certain sections of society to educate them that its only a harmless herb with incredible medicinal benefits.
@Frank Cauldhame: oh the politicians understand alright- but so many politicians have been keeping in power with the ‘drugs are bad’ and only They can fix this by the being tough on drugs rhetoric, and a good deal of the electorate believes it. So politicians won’t do anything progressive on drug policy because they’re too scared of losing votes with the electorate who believes their drugs are bad rhetoric. What we need is politicians who are brave enough to make the right changes.
What are unsafe levels? Curious because as far as Mr Google told me, that can’t really happen.
@still champ champ: Above 0.2% I think, somewhere around that level.
Anyone know where i can buy these unsafe items, i have an urge to investigate this matter..
@David Dineen: got some! But for the life of ne I can’t recall where.
Oh dear Lord the world is ending..
How convenient a recall for “unsafe levels” of THC just after an article on a court hearing about CBD products?
The difference CBD oil with low levels of THC make is unbelievable and yet they will supply me with numerous dangerous drugs as they are legal and profit making for a multinational company.
Yes some cannabis is very sting and heavy in THC but thats not what we are takuing about.
Medicinal cannabis is the exact opposite, high in CBD and llow in THC.
Yet they still mess it up.
Replace word “unsafe” in article to illegal and you’ve got an accurate piece
@Paul Fitzpatrick:
Replace the word “Paul” with “De Craic Lads” and you’ve got a party
Unsafe levels. Lol.
Only unsafe if you’re operating heavy machinery or driving a car otherwise sit back and grab some Doritos , the red spicy ones
Hahaha products been recalled by the major supermarkets chains for years now. Nothing to see here.
FFS.
Isn’t there a court case going on else where because ANY level
Of THC is classed as illegal????
