The "Medical Cannabis Retailer Craft Preparation Endorsement Act of 2025" aims to establish a new endorsement for medical cannabis retailers, allowing them to prepare and sell specific cannabis products. This legislation amends the Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Initiative of 1999 by adding a new section titled "Craft Preparation Endorsement." It outlines eligibility criteria for retailers to apply for this endorsement and specifies the types of products they can prepare, including baked goods, lotions, and prerolls. The act also sets forth requirements for the preparation, testing, packaging, and labeling of these products, ensuring they are shelf-stable and compliant with regulations.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions that restrict the storage of cannabis materials to specific quantities and sources, prohibits the use of certain extraction methods, and mandates that no odors from the preparation process be detectable outside the licensed premises. It also states that consumption of cannabis products on the premises is only allowed if the retailer holds a safe-use treatment facility endorsement. Overall, the act seeks to regulate the craft preparation of medical cannabis products while ensuring safety and compliance with existing laws.
