NY Cannabis Control Board Approves Regulations for Marketing, Advertising

The New York Cannabis Control Board has voted to advance regulations for marketing, and advertising, as well as packaging, labeling, and laboratory testing of adult-use cannabis to public comment.

The board states the regulations are designed to help protect public health and reduce waste. They include requirements for child-resistant packaging and labeling that identifies products as containing cannabis with THC, limiting marketing to adult-only audiences, and the rules for establishing testing procedures to ensure products are safe for consumption.
