Lawmakers Consider Organic Labels For Marijuana
DENVER (CBS4)– A committee in the state House has endorsed a bill to create a program to certify marijuana as organic.
The Public Health Care and Human Services committee sent the bill to the finance committee on Friday. The bill directs the state agricultural department to get a third party to draft certification regulations.
If it passes, Colorado would be the first state to regulate organic labels in the pot industry.
Although organic standards are regulated on the federal level, the U.S. government considers pot an illegal substance. That makes it difficult when marijuana growers want to call their product organic.
The City of Denver has seized thousands of marijuana plants from growers suspected of using off limits chemicals on their plants. Some of those plants were sold with names or labels suggesting the products were natural or organic.
