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.
