How to Stay Compliant With Child-Resistant Packaging Requirements in Nevada
Recreational marijuana has been allowed in Nevada since 2017, but there are still a wide variety of restrictions in place for those looking to cultivate and sell cannabis.
In fact, Nevada’s rules to maintain child-resistant packaging are so specific that their state regulations go so far as to clarify the minimum required thickness of the plastic used in the packaging (4 millimeters), as well as the exact type of cork needed to seal a liquid marijuana product.
These regulations also make clear the exact required contents of a printed label - and even notes that no displayed text can be smaller than 10-point font.
- The name of the medical marijuana establishment and its medical marijuana establishment registration certificate number;
- The lot number;
- The date of harvest;
- The date of final testing;
- The date on which the product was packaged;
- The cannabinoid profile and potency levels and terpenoid profile as determined by the independent testing laboratory;
- If the product is perishable, the expiration date; and
- The quantity of marijuana being sold.
The above rules specifically apply to packaged flower, as concentrate and other products have additional requirements to list exact THC quantities in milligrams per unit. Edibles are also required to include nutrition facts, a complete list of ingredients, and the expiration date (if the product is perishable).
Edibles, concentrates, and any other “marijuana-infused products” must be labeled to include:
- The name of the medical marijuana establishment and its medical marijuana establishment registration certificate number;
- The production run number;
- The date of production;
- The date of final testing;
- The date on which the product was packaged;
- The cannabinoid profile and potency levels and terpenoid profile as determined by the independent testing laboratory, which may include the potential total THC but shall not include any other calculated level of THC;
- If the product is perishable, the expiration date;
- The total amount of THC measured in milligrams;
- A list of all ingredients and all major food allergens as identified in 21 U.S.C. § 343;
- The net weight of the product; and
- If concentrated cannabis was added to the product or if the product consists solely of concentrated cannabis, a disclosure of the type of extraction process used and any solvent, gas or other chemical used in the extraction process or any other compound added to the concentrated cannabis.
Add onto that the provisions that any marijuana sold at retail must also include the exact quotes, “This product may have intoxicating effects and may be habit forming.” and “This product may be unlawful outside of the State of Nevada.”
As you can see, Nevada is a very specific state when it comes to the required labels for child-resistant packaging, and it’s extremely important to ensure that all printed packaging complies with state regulations to avoid legal issues.
If you’re a dispensary or other caregiver planning out your packaging for Nevada sales, it may be prudent to fully familiarize yourself with the specific codes and statutes within their Medical Use of Marijuana provisions that apply to you.
