DENVER — Edible marijuana sold in Colorado must have a new look. Thatap according to state senators from both parties who rejected a bill Wednesday that pot cookies and candies not look like regular foods.
The 0-5 vote was a stunning rejection for a bill supported by the new marijuana industry to back away from a law that marijuana-infused treats have a distinct look by 2016. The bill sponsor called the requirement for all foods an example of “micromanagement” because it can’t be easily applied to liquids.
Lawmakers adopted the requirement last year amid concerns that pot cookies and brownies can be accidentally eaten by people who don’t know they contain pot.
The bill would also have changes for labeling requirements.
