LOS ANGELES (AP) — Want to find a legal marijuana shop in California? Grab your smartphone.
In another step to curb the state’s flourishing illegal pot market, California regulators proposed rules Thursday that would require legal shops to post a unique black-and-white code in storefront windows to help consumers identify licensed businesses.
Shoppers could use their smartphones to scan the familiar, boxy label known as a QR code — similar to a bar code — to determine if a business is selling legal, tested cannabis products.
The codes also would be required when transporting or delivering cannabis.
“The proposed regulations will help consumers avoid purchasing cannabis goods from unlicensed businesses,” said Lori Ajax, who heads the state’s Bureau of Cannabis Control. “These requirements will also assist law enforcement in distinguishing between legal and illegal transportation of cannabis goods.”
