| Assembly Bill | No. 350 |

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 350, Salas.
Cannabis edibles: appealing to children.
Existing law, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA), enacted by the voters at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, regulates the cultivation, distribution, and use of cannabis for nonmedical purposes by individuals 21 years of age and older. AUMA places specified requirements on cannabis products, including prohibiting cannabis products that are designed to be appealing to children or easily confused with commercially sold candy or foods that do not contain cannabis.
This bill would amend the AUMA to prohibit a cannabis product from being made in the shape of a person, animal, insect, or fruit.
AUMA authorizes the Legislature to amend, by a majority vote, certain provisions of the act to implement specified substantive provisions, provided that the amendments are
consistent with and further the purposes and intent of the act.
This bill would declare that its provisions implement specified substantive provisions of AUMA. The bill would also declare that its provisions further specified purposes and the intent of the act.
