Background:
Licensed marijuana retailers are authorized to sell marijuana concentrates, useable marijuana, marijuana-infused products, and certain paraphernalia at retail to persons 21 years of age or older, subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. Among those requirements are that labels on marijuana-infused products and marijuana concentrates sold at retail must include a best by date and that licensed marijuana retailers may not sell marijuana products below acquisition cost or after the marijuana products' best by date passes.
No licensed marijuana retailer or employee of a retail outlet may open or consume, or allow to be opened or consumed, any marijuana concentrates, useable marijuana, or marijuana-infused product on the outlet premises.
