Maine regulators adopted a symbol that will be required on marijuana products sold for recreational use, starting next year.
The symbol, already in use in Massachusetts, features a red triangle with text reading, “CONTAINS THC.” THC is the active ingredient that produces marijuana’s high.
Maine voters approved legal adult-use marijuana at the polls in November 2016. But the road to legal sales has been long and bumpy.
Adult-use marijuana is expected to be available in Maine retail stores by March.
The 2019 Marijuana Business Factbook projects that Maine’s MMJ sales will be flat this year at $20 million-$25 million.
