Top Regulations on Childproof Packaging Explained The legalization of cannabis for both recreational and medical use has led to enormous creativity among cannabis package makers as they seek to take childproof packaging a notch higher. Today, packaging providers are striving to create advanced child-resistant tins, jars, bags, and bottles for different cannabis products. Like any other industry, there are some regulations that should be adhered to when it comes childproof packaging, including:
1. Medical Marijuana Code In 2011, the Medical Marijuana Code was passed in Colorado, and it required all cannabisinfused products to be enclosed in special packaging that cannot be opened easily by kids below 5 years. Following the enactment of this law, California, which was among the earliest states to legalize cannabis for medical use also demanded that packaging for cannabis products bear evidence that it hasn’t been tampered with. If it does not bear such evidence, then it cannot be suitable for sale.

Poison Prevention Packaging Act
This is a general regulation that every state must adhere to. In all states, cannabis products must have child-resistant packaging that is in compliance with the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, which was enacted in 1970. The act was enacted in response to the rising cases of children ingesting poisonous household products and prescription drugs. All companies or businesses dealing with cannabis products either for recreational or medical use must ensure their products come with child-resistant packaging in order to comply with this act.

Medical Marijuana Regulation & Safety Act
This act outlines how packaging of cannabis product ought to be done, and the requirements that it should comply with. For instance, the child-resistant packaging should be reseal-able after the package is opened. It should also be tamper-evident and come with a tamper-proof sticker or plastic seal to indicate whether the package has been tampered with or opened.
