Cannabis Packaging Regulatory Round-Up - Northeast US
Of the nine states in the Northeastern U.S., six are now legal cannabis markets (at varying levels of maturity), each with its own young and evolving regulatory systems governing the packaging and branding of cannabis products. Cannabis businesses of all sizes find it difficult to build and sustain a brand that drives repeat business when the rules for the package which embodies the brand and delivers its product are in constant flux. In the cannabis market, possessing a deeper understanding of the regulations as they stand (and as they might be) is not only th responsible thing to do; it also represents a powerful competitive edge. With no national standard in place, it is important for industry stakeholders to examine regulatory trends across multiple states and have meaningful, pro-active discussions around this critical subject - for the thriving of the industry but most importantly for the safety and well-being of the people who use cannabis and their communities. Presented by Conference Partner Organization the New York City Cannabis Industry Association (NYCCIA)
