Legislative committee passes new restrictions on marijuana edibles in Colorado

22 April 2014

A bill in the Colorado legislature to put extra safety restrictions on marijuana-infused edible products passed its first test Thursday.

The bill would require marijuana edibles to eventually be made in a unique shape or with a unique stamp or color to differentiate them from other food products. It would be up to the state Department of Revenue to figure out the exact regulations and have them in place by 2016.

The bill won unanimous approval in its first committee hearing Thursday, but it must survive several more votes in the session's closing weeks to make it to the governor's desk.
