Addiction help info at cannabis shops

Beginning July 1, 2026, stores must post a consumer education poster at each point of sale. Each poster must be at least 8.5 by 11 inches and show the universal symbol and required warnings. The poster must list a website, phone number, and a quick reference code for addiction help. Each exit package must also include a quick reference code that links to addiction resources. The Department of Revenue sets poster rules and provides the recommended resource list.

Clear warnings on cannabis packaging

Beginning July 1, 2026, marijuana packages must show a clear warning label next to the universal symbol. The label must use a legible font (Times New Roman, Arial, or Helvetica). The small letter "o" must be at least 1/16 inch tall. The label must state: "Driving while under the influence of marijuana is a crime." All exit packaging must also show this warning. The law removes earlier pregnancy and nursing warnings.
