NEW YORK As marijuana legalization spreads across U.S. states, so does a debate over whether to set pot policy by potency.

Vermont is limiting THC content when its legal market opens as soon as next year, and limits or taxes have been broached in some other states and the U.S. Senate’s drug-control caucus.
