Bill > S1077

This bill aims to establish new requirements for the packaging and labeling of marijuana and marijuana products in Massachusetts. Key provisions include: 1) Requiring marijuana and marijuana product packaging to be opaque, grey, child-resistant, and devoid of cartoon characters or bright colors to reduce appeal to minors. 2) Mandating specific labeling requirements, such as a symbol indicating the product contains marijuana, identification of the cultivator and manufacturer, THC content, "best by" date, serving information, and health warnings. 3) Establishing a process for marijuana cultivators and product manufacturers to submit packaging and labeling for approval by the commission prior to sale, with a timeline for the commission's review and decision. 4) Giving the commission the authority to stop the sale of any marijuana product that poses an immediate threat to public health. The goal of these changes is to promote responsible and safe consumption of marijuana products through standardized packaging and labeling.
