All required warning language for the exit bags must be reproduced verbatim and printed in black ink against a white background.

Per 16-12-215, MCA:

• WARNING: Consumption of marijuana may cause anxiety, agitation, paranoia, psychosis, and excessive vomiting.
• WARNING: Consumption of marijuana by pregnant women may result in fetal injury and low birth weight.
• WARNING: Consumption of marijuana by nursing mothers may result in infant hyperactivity and poor cognitive function.
• WARNING: Driving while under the influence of marijuana is a crime.

New Consumer Education Posters

Additionally, dispensaries must display a new consumer education poster at each point of sale. These posters must include the updated exit warning messages, the universal marijuana warning symbol, and the website address, phone number, and QR code for a resource related to marijuana addiction.

An administrative hearing will be held to establish regulations governing the educational posters and exit packaging.
