Bill > S95

This bill modifies marijuana labeling requirements by expanding and standardizing the information that must be included on marijuana and marijuana product packaging. The new requirements mandate that packages display a commission-issued symbol indicating marijuana content, a child-warning symbol, the cultivator's contact information, comprehensive testing results, a unique batch number, ingredient and allergen lists, and specific dosage information including the amount of delta-nine-tetrahydrocannabinol (?9-THC) in both absolute and percentage terms. The bill also requires packages to include the number of servings, a use-by date, and a detailed warning statement that emphasizes potential health risks, legal restrictions, and the importance of keeping the product away from children. Notably, the bill mandates comprehensive, rotating health warnings that must be periodically updated based on emerging scientific research, with specific emphasis on highlighting increased risks of psychosis, schizophrenia, and suicide associated with THC-containing marijuana products, particularly when used at a young age or frequently. These extensive labeling requirements aim to provide consumers with clear, scientific information about the potential risks and contents of marijuana products.
