More detail
Cannabis retailers would clearly display a notice created by the Cannabis Regulatory Commission at checkout. The notice covers possible risks from cannabis the commission defines as high potency, including risks for people under 25 and people with or at risk for a mental health condition or psychosis. The notice must also tell people where to find help cutting back on or stopping cannabis use. The requirement would start on the first day of the ninth month after enactment. The commission could prepare the notice before then.
