According to the Bureau of Medical Cannabis Regulation’s (BMCR) proposed text, cannabis packaging must be “significantly difficult for children under five years of age to open, and not difficult for adults to use properly.” How that plays out is the big question right now. When asked, BMCR spokespersons only say that it will be finalized “by the fall.”

As with other states, the BMCR text also proposes child-resistant “exit bags.” White, opaque, and designed to look uninteresting to kids, these bags quickly solve the problem by holding several non-child-resistant packages inside.
California will also require tamper-resistant shrink-wrapping on some packages, and a new warning icon, which Knott described as an upside-down triangle with the letters “THC” and an exclamation point inside. “We’re trying to keep up,” says a smiling Sacramento’s Casey Knott, owner of 420 Stock, a non-edibles packaging supplier for cannabis dispensaries.
