In March, Health Canada released a report that summarized the regulation of its recreational cannabis consultation period. Come legalization, packaging for cannabis products must have a single colour with a standardized font style, cannot have “embossed, shiny or metallic” designs on it, and the use of branding and logos will be limited.

Labels must include health messages, as well as the letters ‘THC’ and a red “stop sign” symbol with a cannabis leaf. Packaging will also list the product’s THC and CBD content.
