On Tuesday, Rep. Cindy Acree, R-Aurora, withdrew her proposal to ban pot-infused products for medical marijuana users, reports The Denver Post. Instead, the House Judiciary Committee approved HB 11-1250 by a vote of 7-3 after it was amended to allow state regulators to call for tamper-proof packaging standards for the sale of edible products at dispensaries. No edible products were banned by the bill, but language remained banning medical marijuana-infused ointments and tinctures.
The Committee also removed limits on marijuana advertising after concerns over free-speech challenges. References to “food and drink” were also removed, with language added to exclude such products from consideration as food or drug for the purposes of the “Colorado Food and Drug Act.”
