3. Regulation of Cannabis Products:

   • New limits on THC potency in cannabis products.
   • Prohibition of synthetic cannabinoids and certain cannabis-infused products (e.g., lollipops, products resembling children's food).
   • Bans on added flavors (e.g., fruit, menthol) in inhaled cannabis products.

4. Business Regulations and Testing:

   • Stricter packaging and labeling requirements to prevent appeal to individuals under 25.
   • Background checks and compliance measures for cannabis businesses.
   • Strengthened provisions for cannabis product testing and safety.

5. Advertising Restrictions:

7. Law Enforcement and Public Safety:

   • Studies on impaired driving related to cannabis use.
   • Training for peace officers on the legal changes and methods for distinguishing legal cannabis use from illicit activity.

8. Social Equity and Economic Development:

   • Programs to support economic opportunities for communities historically affected by cannabis prohibition.
