In the past few years, I have been asked to review dozens of cannabis labeling materials to see if they meet California’s complex cannabis labeling requirements. I don’t remember one time I didn’t find at least some problems that needed to be changed.
Mistakes in simulated cannabis labels have nothing to do with the complexity of cannabis companies — I have seen errors in label drafts provided by even extremely complex companies — but California’s over-regulation. There are too many rules about what must be included on the label and what is forbidden.
All of this stems from the “Medicinal and Adult Use of Marijuana Regulatory and Safety Act” (MAUCRSA), which details Claim For things that must appear on the label, such as a long all-caps warning package containing marijuana (duh), etc. By the way, there are actually two different government warnings, one for hemp and the other for hemp products. I often see these being confused!
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH), which regulates cannabis manufacturers, issued regulations under MAUCRSA to expand labeling requirements. In many cases, the rules for manufactured products (vapes, oils, dabs, etc.) are different from the rules for flowers or non-infused pre-rolls. Even in the category of manufactured goods, there are additional rules regarding food.
There are special rules for packaging and how to make it child-safe. If you are considering having a separable internal packaging, guess what-there…
