AI Summary

This bill aims to prohibit the sale of marijuana and synthetic cannabinoid products that are packaged in a way that resembles commercially available candy. The bill amends existing law to specify that marijuana products cannot be packaged in a way that bears a reasonable resemblance to any commercially available candy, such as chocolate bars, caramel, nougat, or other dessert-like confections. Additionally, the bill prohibits the sale of any product containing synthetic cannabinoids or melatonin that resembles candy packaging, and directs the Department of Public Health to develop regulations to determine what constitutes a "reasonable resemblance" to candy.
