Marking Marijuana Edibles: A Simple Guide to Avoiding Dangerous Mix-Ups

June 22, 2022 by LEAH D'AMBROSIO

In the recreational cannabis market, edibles are a popular product. But when manufacturing THC-infused candies, baked goods, or other sweets, it’s important to take precautions and follow standard safety standards. For example, these products should always be clearly marked to avoid accidental consumption by someone else. Accidental ingestion of marijuana—or any other drug for that matter—can be very unpleasant or dangerous in some circumstances. Even something as innocent as a peanut allergy can become a serious issue if peanuts are not clearly marked on food labels and another individual consumes them unknowingly. Fortunately, there are several strategies to help avoid dangerous mix-ups with marijuana edibles. Here’s an overview of some simple but effective tips:

Clearly Marking Marijuana Edibles

In any controlled substance situation, the most important rule is to clearly mark the items that contain the substance in question. If you’re manufacturing and distributing cannabis-infused foods, make sure that the product is clearly marked as such. If you’re consuming the product at home, make sure that you store it safely out of the reach of children and others who may consume it accidentally. Make sure the product is clearly labeled as containing THC and include the amount of THC present. There are many different types of THC-containing products, so make sure you are marking the correct item and amount of THC.

Use Child-Proof Packaging

Beyond just making sure that the product is clearly marked, it is also important to pack it in child-proof packaging. If you are manufacturing marijuana candies or another edible product, you should use child-proof packaging. If you are consuming the product at home, it’s a good idea to store it in child-proof containers. This may seem like an obvious safety tip, but it is one that is often overlooked when discussing marijuana edibles. Child-proof packaging is often used to keep children out of dangerous products like prescription medication and household cleaners. If you are manufacturing marijuana edibles, make sure you are packaging them in a way that will keep them out of the reach of children and other unsuspecting individuals.

Don’t Mix Marijuana Edibles With Other Food

 Marijuana edibles should be kept in a separate location from other foods. If you have cannabis edibles in your home, make sure that the they are stored away from other foods in order to avoid accidental mix-ups. This is particularly important if you are consuming the marijuana edibles with a group of people. Make sure your edibles are clearly distinguishable from other foods that don’t contain cannabis so it’s obvious what is infused.

Use Clear Labeling and Warning Signs

If you are manufacturing marijuana candies and other foods, it’s a good idea to include clear warning signs on the packaging as well as the actual food product. Make sure the packaging explicitly states that the product contains THC and other cannabinoids. Make sure that the amount of THC in the product is clearly marked as well. Warn others that the product may be dangerous to consume in large quantities. If you are consuming the marijuana edibles at home, make sure that you clearly mark the packaging or container you store it in and include a warning sign. Make sure that others who may come across the marijuana edibles know that the product is for willing adults only and must be kept out of reach of minors.

Conclusion

The most important thing to remember about marijuana edibles is that they must be clearly marked. This is true both for manufacturing and consumption. If you are making marijuana edibles, make sure that the product is clearly marked as such. If you are consuming the product at home, make sure that you store it safely out of the reach of children and others who may consume it accidentally. For those interested in consuming marijuana edibles, be sure to clearly mark the product as containing THC and include the amount of THC present. Additionally, it is important to store the edibles in a separate location from other foods.

Unwitting Consumers Are Accidentally Eating Edibles – Baked Smart Has a Solution

April 12, 2019 by LEAH D'AMBROSIO

By almost every standard, legalizing cannabis has gone off without a hitch and had some incredible results. No more pointless arrests, fewer kids are using cannabis and opioid use has even decreased in some legal states. However, one unintended consequence of legalization is that the rate of accidental marijuana ingestion by children has gone up.

Reports of accidental consumption have been popping up everywhere from legitimate sources —no reefer madness paranoia. The same day 9 elementary schoolers were hospitalized in Ohio for eating infused gummies, 15 middle schoolers were sent home after being given edibles from classmates.

These situations can result in some serious consequences for some. After handing out gummies that contained cannabis to 6 classmates, a 12 year old in Florida may be facing 7 felony charges. It’s unclear whether he even knew they were cannabis-infused.

Kids aren’t the only ones affected by this problem. A man in Minnesota ate 2 unmarked brownies infused with cannabis, and after being randomly drug tested, he was fired from his government job. All because he couldn’t tell the difference between a regular unmarked brownie and a THC-infused brownie.

If an adult can’t tell the difference, how do we expect children to? How can there be a visible way to distinguish edibles from regular food?

The solution is to mark your edibles! Colorado, Nevada and Massachusetts created laws requiring all edibles to have a state-specified symbol displayed on the actual food product. As companies wise up to this necessity, and labeling requirements are put in place in more legal states, Baked Smart is standing ready to help cannabis companies to keep their THC-infused goodies away from unwilling participants.

The Secret to Safer Edibles Lies in the Green Cross

November 22, 2017 by LEAH D'AMBROSIO

With the litany of edible options available, it can be a bit overwhelming for someone who has limited experience with cannabis. Advances in technology have made it possible for edibles to exist without a distinct odor or flavor that gives away an enhanced element. While the artistic opportunities are all very exciting, they can present problems for those who are looking to avoid a psychoactive experience.

For a long time, edibles were something experimented with behind closed doors, but the industry has seriously expanded over the last decade. In states where it is recreationally legal, any food or drink item conceivable has an infused version: coffee, olive oil, soda, candy, condiments, and more can be found with THC and CBD. Depending on the state’s legislation, however, the restrictions and rules applying to labeling can prove very difficult for an edible producer…. [Read More]

No tricks, just treats this Halloween

October 19, 2017 by LEAH D'AMBROSIO

By: Chase Rader

Halloween scaremongering is nothing new. Since 1959, concerned parents have warned against the risk of finding poisoned candy or razors and needles in their kid’s bags. Although there have been a handful of confirmed cases of tampering with candy, the majority of these stories have been hoaxes that were later debunked.

With states across the country legalizing recreational marijuana for adult use there is a new kind of paranoia sweeping the country: the fear that someone will slip a cannabis-infused food into your kid’s trick-or-treat bag, giving them an unwanted high on top of their sugar high.
