Edible pot ban off table, work continues on limits

A ban on most forms of edible marijuana at Colorado dispensaries is off the table. But work is continuing on efforts to require pot-infused food and drink to have a distinct look when they are out of the packaging.

The state’s Marijuana Enforcement Division plans one more meeting of a workgroup made up of marijuana industry officials, law enforcement and health authorities. It must suggest to Colorado lawmakers a proposal to require retail pot to have a distinct look so it can’t be confused with other foods.

Lawmakers ordered state pot regulators to require a new look for pot-infused food and drink after concerns about the proliferation of pot-infused treats.
