Medical marijuana packaging; requiring certain warnings on labels. Effective date.
This bill updates Oklahoma's medical marijuana laws, requiring specific warnings and packaging standards for medical marijuana businesses. It mandates that labels include warnings such as "Keep out of reach of children," "It is illegal to drive a motor vehicle while under the influence of marijuana," and a caution against use during pregnancy. The legislation also requires child-resistant packaging that minimizes appeal to children, prohibits misleading statements or health claims, and mandates a statement indicating that the product has been tested for contaminants. These new requirements for medical marijuana packaging and labeling will become effective on November 1, 2025.
