Enjoying your edible marijuana treat right now?

Lucky for you, it won’t be banned anytime soon.

A bill that started out as a proposal to ban all edible marijuana in Colorado may now be adjusted to regulating labels.

The original proposal put a scare into medical marijuana patients who rely on edible cannabis, but it has since been redrafted.

The Colorado House is expected to make a final ruling on the bill, which, if passed, would regulate how edible pot is produced and sold.

The guidelines include labeling requirements showing how much marijuana is in a product.

The bill would also require tamper-proof opaque packaging, a change aimed at keeping kids away from sweets made with marijuana.

Pot advocates who testified last week say the labeling law still goes too far, and the committee delayed action on the measure.

Medical marijuana dispensaries would have likely seen an increase in profit because there would be one fewer outlet to obtain the pot in some instances, but the labeling adjustment means edible pot would still likely be sold.

Some medical marijuana patients are either physically unable to smoke the marijuana or simply don’t want to, leaving edible pot as the only option. However, medical marijuana opposers argue the new bill would keep it out of the hands of non-legitimate patients.

How big a deal is it that patients may only be able to smoke marijuana instead of consume it?

The bill lists edibles, ointments and tinctures as possible forms that would be banned, leaving smoking as the only option.

It appears those with a marijuana sweet tooth are safe to lick their lollipops and bite into their brownies – for now.
