Citing the 2019 vaping crisis, California cannabis regulators on Thursday mandated that licensed marijuana retailers and distributorsdisplay a QR codein order to differentiate legal cannabis businesses from illicit ones.
The move is designed to help consumers identify licensed cannabis retail stores, assist law enforcement and support the legal cannabis market where products such as vape cartridges are routinely tested to protect public health and safety, the state Bureau of Cannabis Control (BCC) said in a statement.
The mandate stems from vape-related lung illnesses that led to at least 60 deaths nationwide and 2,600 hospitalizations last year.
Retailers will be required to display a unique QR code in a window visible to the public, with the code itself no smaller than 3.75 inches by 3.75 inches.
Distribution company employees, or delivery service drivers, must also carry a copy of the QR code with them when transporting cannabis products under the new regulation.
The BCC announced the QR code campaignin December, but at the time, it was a voluntary step for retailers to display the code so they could set themselves apart from the illegal market.
