News stories and articles concerning the cannabis industry, legalization, edibles, accidental consumption, and how marking edibles can help.

Marijuana-related products raise liability concerns

October 3, 2017 by LEAH D'AMBROSIO

 

“Product liability is the “scariest type” of marijuana claim because not only is it an issue of public safety, but if a claim is disputed it can lead to up to two years of litigation, and is most likely to put a company out of business, said Ronnie Cabral, cannabis group practice leader at San Francisco-based wholesale broker Crouse & Associates Insurance Services.”

Creating cannabis infused foods without a clear way to distinguish them definitely creates a liability and public safety issue, but this issue is easy to fix! Brands can mark their edibles with Cannacals™ -edible green cross designs specifically designed for cannabis infused foods- so they don’t get mixed up with regular food. The green cross is an easy to recognize symbol for cannabis that helps people #SpotThePot.

Medical marijuana company seeks state rules for edible pot

October 3, 2017 by LEAH D'AMBROSIO

 

“The new law, approved during a June special session, allows the state’s medical-marijuana operators to sell edible products — currently banned in Florida — to qualified patients, so long as the products aren’t geared toward children.

To “discourage consumption of edibles by children,” the law requires health officials to determine “by rule any shapes, forms, and ingredients allowed and prohibited for edibles.”

Study Finds Top 5 Causes of Cannabis-Related Emergency Visits

October 2, 2017 by LEAH D'AMBROSIO

 

“Children are at particular risk of cannabis toxicity because cannabis-containing food products, known as edibles, look extremely similar to regular candy.”

Children are not the only ones at risk! When edibles look identical to regular food it makes it nearly impossible for an adult to distinguish them as well. There IS a solution!

Marking edibles with the green cross makes it easy for kids and adults to #SpotThePot

Survey says Canadians curious about marijuana edibles, but concerned about children

October 2, 2017 by LEAH D'AMBROSIO

 

A recent survey showed that the majority of Canadians support legalization, “however, more than half of those surveyed said they had overarching concerns about the potential harms to children who may be drawn to gummy candies, cookies and other confections containing the psychoactive chemical. In B.C., for example, about 81 per cent of those surveyed expressed concern over increased access to pot by young adults.”

Kids AND adults are at risk of accidentally eating edibles until Canada makes an effort to mark their edibles! Marking edibles lets EVERYONE know what contains cannabis and what’s safe for your kids. Use the green cross and make it easy to #SpotThePot.

Colorado cannabis safety regs limit edible shapes, enlarge potency labels

October 2, 2017 by LEAH D'AMBROSIO

 

“New regulations in Colorado include requiring more robust testing, child-proof packaging, potency and dosing-size restrictions of 10 milligrams THC per serving, and education about delayed effects of edibles. They also required a universal THC symbol stamped on each 10-milligram standard serving, the inclusion of potency and contamination testing information, and the barring of words such as “candy” or “candies.””

These are great steps toward a safer cannabis edibles industry! More states should be making an effort to reduce accidental consumption and improve edible safety. Edible producers can mark their homemade cannabis creations with the green cross to ensure that it’s EASY to #SpotThePot

X Marks the (S)pot

September 28, 2017 by LEAH D'AMBROSIO

 

“Even though I’ve always placed them inside a container that has a dire, end-of-days warning on the lid, sometimes containers get opened and lids get moved around, and without a label that says the contents are dosed, how is anyone going to distinguish a cannabis cookie from a civilian cookie? Then the bad times begin.”
