This bill amends the North Dakota Century Code to establish regulations for edible medical marijuana products, including new definitions and provisions regarding possession and purchase limits. Registered qualifying patients and their designated caregivers are now limited to possessing a maximum of five hundred milligrams of cannabinoid edible products at any time. Additionally, the bill sets a maximum concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) at five milligrams per serving, with a total package limit of fifty milligrams.

Moreover, the bill requires prior approval from the Department of Health and Human Services for the manufacturing, possession, marketing, or sale of cannabinoid edible products. The department will oversee the form, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and marketing of these products, ensuring that packaging is child-resistant, resealable, and non-transparent, while labeling adheres to specific safety guidelines. Importantly, the bill includes a provision that prohibits marketing efforts directed towards minors, reinforcing the commitment to responsible marketing practices within the cannabinoid industry.
