Cannabis vaporizing cartridges: universal symbol.

Existing law, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) , approved by the voters at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, regulates the cultivation, distribution, transport, storage, manufacturing, testing, processing, sale, and use of marijuana for nonmedical purposes by people 21 years of age and older. The existing Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) , among other things, consolidates the licensure and regulation of commercial medicinal and adult-use cannabis activities. The existing MAUCRSA imposes specified labeling requirements on cannabis and cannabis products, including requiring specified disclosures on the packaging and label of the product. This bill would implement the labeling requirements of AUMA by requiring a cannabis cartridge or integrated cannabis vaporizer, as defined, to bear an established universal symbol that is not smaller than 14 inch wide by 14 inch high and would require that the symbol be engraved, affixed with a sticker, or printed in black or white. AUMA authorizes the Legislature to amend by majority vote certain provisions of the act to implement specified substantive provisions, provided that the amendments are consistent with, and further the purposes and intent of, AUMA. This bill would declare that its provisions implement specified substantive provisions of AUMA and are consistent with, and further the purposes and intent of, AUMA. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
