Cannabis packaging: beverages.
Summary
The Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) , an initiative measure approved as Proposition 64 at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, authorizes a person who obtains a state license under AUMA to engage in commercial adult-use cannabis activity pursuant to that license and applicable local ordinances. The 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, including retail commercial cannabis activity. Existing law places specified requirements on the packaging of cannabis and cannabis products, including authorizing cannabis beverages to be packaged in glass containers that are clear or any color. This bill would authorize cannabis beverages to be packaged in containers of any material that are clear or any color. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 26120 of the Business and Professions Code proposed by AB 1894 to be operative only if this bill and AB 1894 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
