Sam Kamin, who is a professor at the University of Denver, told the committee, “I think our experience and the American experience is certainly that we have learned how to mitigate those risks.” He pointed to “Resealable packaging, non-transparent packaging, with clear portion sizes and maximum THC per package, markings on the individual pieces”, no marketing to children, etc., as all part of the state of Colorado's experience.
Minister, I'll put it to you once again. Leaving these products wholly unregulated means that the risks of edibles and concentrates remain wholly unmitigated. Why is that better? Why are you content to leave those products to the black market, and as the Minister of Public Safety said, to organized crime, which is probably not selling their products in childproof packages. Why are you content to leave that for another year or so instead of regulating them now, as Colorado has done very successfully?
