At Dutchie, we are committed to supporting the legal cannabis industry by providing top-tier e-commerce, POS, payments, and compliance solutions. We believe that the success of the cannabis community relies not just on innovative technology, but also on active participation in shaping the regulations that govern our industry.

‍

Attention Dispensary Owners and Operators: The Cannabis Control Board (the Board) has recently approved new regulations regarding packaging, labeling, marketing, and advertising (PLMA). These regulations are critical as they establish the primary rules that all licensees must follow to remain compliant with the Cannabis Law.

‍

Why This Matters: The PLMA regulations will directly impact how you run your business, from the design of your product packaging to how you market your products to customers. It’s essential that these regulations reflect the realities of operating a dispensary in today’s market. Your feedback can help ensure that these rules are fair, practical, and support the growth of a responsible cannabis industry.

‍

Get Involved: The Board is opening a 60-day public comment period next week, giving you the opportunity to voice your opinions, concerns, and suggestions about the proposed regulations. This is your chance to influence the final shape of the rules that will govern our industry.

‍

How to Submit Your Comments: We encourage all our dispensary customers to participate in this important process. Submitting a comment is straightforward and can be done online once the comment period begins. We'll provide detailed instructions on how to submit your comments as soon as the window opens.

‍

Why Your Voice Matters: Every comment counts. By participating in the regulatory process, you’re not just protecting your businessβ€”you’re also contributing to the broader effort to build a legal cannabis industry that is equitable, sustainable, and profitable for everyone involved.

‍

At Dutchie, we are here to support you every step of the way. We will continue to keep you informed about developments related to these regulations and any other changes that might affect your operations.

‍

Stay tuned for more information, and thank you for being an active participant in the cannabis community. Together, we can shape the future of this industry.
