Edible pot up for another review

Marijuana edibles in Colorado will sell with an octagon shaped stop sign on their packaging.

You might imagine that her pot side sign up the package could well be sufficient to help people at large identify between pan candy products and steady toffee, nonetheless it might seem that it must be clearly… The letters stand for marijuana’s psychoactive ingredient.

A pro-marijuana group says it has enough signatures to get a public consumption question on the city of Denver’s November ballots.

The state has already barred manufacturers from using cartoon characters on packets of marijuana products or creating “look-alike” products such as sweets designed to mimic common foods.

It’s worth mentioning that this is not the first time the subjected is being debated. Regulators rejected an earlier proposal to mark edible pot with a weed-leaf symbol after parents complained the symbol would simply attract children, not dissuade them from eating the products. The proposed rules also state that only single-serve packaging will be allowed on liquid products containing marijuana, defined as 10 milligrams of THC. For instance they use eggs when making backed goods, and one manufacturer by the name of Dan Anglin asked: “Do I have to have chickens out back for the eggs?”. The new rules will reportedly go for a public hearing before final adoption.

The state of Colorado has slowly but steadily taken matters of precaution. The rule could also ban the word “candy” from appearing in product names. For that reason, the edibles market has exploded in states where marijuana is legal.

Since January 2014, after Colorado allowed the recreational use of pot, state regulators have been trying to enforce a requirement to give the packaging of edible marijuana a distinct look amid concerns that some people unknowingly consume cannabis-laced edibles.

“I don’t think that items that aren’t attractive to kids like granola and salad dressing need to be held to the same high standard of marking, stamping or coloring”, said Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont.
