SEATTLE – Certain cannabis-infused candy could start vanishing from store shelves across Washington next year.
The Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board announced Wednesday that it will “reevaluate” all edible marijuana products in an effort to cut back on products that may appeal to children.
Washington state has rules barring products that are “especially appealing to children,” but spokesman Brian Smith said the board has received complaints.
In a presentation posted online, the agency identified colorful gummy-style and hard candies as ripe for a regulatory crackdown.
Edibles producers now have to resubmit their products to the agency by Jan. 1.
