State Senator Bill Coleman has secured passage of a bill that will crack down on illegal marijuana sales. Growers will now be required to package cannabis flower in a reasonably sized parcel.

The Senate has passed the bill, which requires medical marijuana processors and growers to sell the marijuana products to dispensaries in parcels no larger than three ounces. The bill now moves to the governor’s desk and here is what Coleman had to say on the move:

“This is a critical public safety measure that protects medical marijuana patients by preventing growers from selling garbage bags full of illegal product from unlicensed and unregulated entities.”

If Governor Kevin Stitt approves the measure, the new requirement would take effect June 1, 2025.
