Canada’s legalized marijuana must be sold with plain packaging and health warnings, while smaller producers face strict limits on crop sizes, according to draft rules released in advance of legalization.
Among other proposals, marijuana packages can only display one “brand element” beyond the product’s name, and symbols can’t be larger than the government’s obligatory warning that’s shaped like a stop sign. The federal government said it plans to license “micro” growers if they restrict their crop area to 200 square meters, or about 2,150 square feet.
Health Canada unveiled the results Monday of a 60-day consultation around its proposed regulations, in which it emphasized a focus on reducing the appeal of marijuana to youth and preventing accidental consumption.
