DENVER (AP) -- Edible marijuana such as pot brownies and lollipops could be due for a new state law in Colorado.
The state is expecting within days final rules governing how edible pot must be produced and sold. The guidelines include labeling requirements to state how much marijuana is in a product.
A House committee is considering putting those requirements in law, though. The House Judiciary committee heard testimony Tuesday on a bill to regulate labels. The bill would also require tamper-proof opaque packaging, a change aimed at keeping kids away from sweets made with marijuana.
The bill started out as a ban on all edible marijuana. Pot advocates who testified Tuesday say the labeling law still goes too far. The committee delayed action on the measure.
