(c) Edible cannabis products shall be:

(1) Not designed to be appealing to children or easily confused with commercially sold candy or foods that do not contain cannabis.

(2) Produced and sold with a standardized concentration of cannabinoids not to exceed 10 milligrams tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) per serving.

(3) Delineated or scored into standardized serving sizes if the cannabis product contains more than one serving and is an edible cannabis product in solid form.

(4) Homogenized to ensure uniform disbursement of cannabinoids throughout the product.

(5) Manufactured and sold under sanitation standards established by the department that are similar to the standards for preparation, storage, handling, and sale of food products.

(7) Marked with a universal symbol, as determined by the department through regulation.

(d) Cannabis, including concentrated cannabis, included in a cannabis product manufactured in compliance with law is not considered an adulterant under state law.

(e)(1) If the cannabis product is intended for therapeutic effect or health supplementation use on, or for consumption by, an animal, the cannabis product shall also conform with any additional relevant standards, including, but not limited to, an alternative standardized concentration, established by the department through regulations.

(2) The department shall promulgate regulations for animal product standards no later than July 1, 2025. Cannabis products shall not be marketed or sold for use on, or consumption by, animals before these regulations for animal standards take effect.

Notes

Requires manufacturing regulations and caps edible cannabis at 10 milligrams THC per serving, with standardized servings, homogenization, sanitation, consumer information, and a universal symbol. Requires animal-product standards by July 1, 2025 and prohibits marketing or selling cannabis products for animal use before those regulations take effect; lawful cannabis in manufactured products is not an adulterant.
