Kids and weed no more go together than kids and whiskey. However, marijuana legalization presents a challenge to producers of infused edibles. Many edibles look and taste just like yummy things kids (and adults) like to eat: brownies, lollipops, sodas, candy, etc.

The state of Colorado is currently mulling labeling standards for these items that give information about potency, and have a graphic affixed to the wrapper that denotes an herb-infused product. We feel this graphic, the seal for the Marijuana Enforcement Division, is ineffectual for children, especially tots too young to read well. Instead, we propose the bold, bright warning used as the featured image for this petition. It is in line with other "danger" colors that young children can easily "read" as meaning not for them. Parents would have far less trouble teaching their kids to recognize our graphic than the one above.

If you agree with us, please sign the petition that will be sent to the Colorado State Legislature when it has reached 2,000 signatures. Colorado residents are particularly encouraged to apply, as your opinion will have more weight with the lawmakers in Denver. Thank you!
