- Allowed outdoor grows
- Added child proof packaging
- Shortened hours of operation
- Allowed outside mothering plants for the first 15 days of a license
- Strengthened advertising restrictions to restrict ads that may appeal to youth
- Tightened definitions (child care center, financier, library, member)
- Removed landlord affidavit requirement
- Added retail location process
- Added minimum pixels requirement for camera resolutions in surveillance system
- Allowed free samples of useable marijuana by producers or processors for negotiating a sale
We’ll be providing analysis on these changes so stay tuned. In the interim, here’s a copy of the LCB’s proposed rules.
