Bill Summary
Relative to packaging requirements for marijuana and marijuana products. Marijuana Policy.
AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts's laws to establish new packaging and labeling requirements for marijuana and marijuana products. The bill requires that marijuana packaging be opaque, grey, child-resistant, and devoid of cartoon characters or bright colors to avoid appealing to minors. The bill also mandates specific labeling requirements, including a symbol or mark indicating the product contains marijuana, the cultivator and manufacturer information, THC content, a "best by" date, and health warnings. The bill establishes a process for marijuana cultivators and manufacturers to obtain approval for their product packaging and labeling from the state's Cannabis Control Commission before sale.
