As of Sunday, edible marijuana sold in Colorado will have to be labeled, reminding users that it’s illegal outside the state.  

The laced candy or pastries must also be in childproof packaging, which is sparking some ideas, according to Jeremiah Buck of Tread Global.

“We’re seeing a lot of new, innovated designs coming across our desk, ones that arguably are better than the traditional pill bottle that we all have,” he said.

Colorado lawmakers are expected to soon discuss a measure that would prohibit the use of food-stamp funds for marijuana.
