Colorado The Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Divi- sion released a new “Single Universal Symbol” that must be included on packaging and labeling for all cannabis products by the start of 2019. The symbol is required for both medical and recreational cannabis, and for all types of products. Medical marijuana retailers may sell inventory with the previously established Medical Uni- versal Symbol through July 1, 2019, provided the inven- tory arrived at the dispensary before Jan. 1. Florida A lawsuit filed by the Patients and Producers Alliance aims to turn the state’s medical marijuana program into a more free-market system. If successful, the suit could have industry ramifications far outside Florida. Most MMJ legalization laws enacted in recent years have capped the number of licenses, typically resulting in heated competition. The lawsuit alleges that the state has violated the will of the voters by installing a license cap and requiring all licensed MMJ companies to be vertically integrated. 5 Inspired by temperature USA Huber USA, Inc. 100 Centrewest Ct.
