New York officials don't want cannabis companies to market marijuana products using cartoons or other things that might appeal to children.
"Making sure the packaging of cannabis products isn't cartoon-like in nature or attractive to children," Executive Director Chris Alexander said.
New York City Cannabis Industry Association co-founder David Holland agreed with some rules but said other requirements are too restrictive. "I think it's very good that they don't want cartoon characters or things that become appealing to children," Holland said. "They're well-intentioned but there are some that are really hard to fathom."
The rules would forbid cannabis sellers from advertising on billboards within 500 feet of schools, daycare centers, playgrounds, public parks, or libraries. Advertisers may not use the words "organic," "craft," "weed," "pot," or "stoner.""It's going to be very limiting on people's creativity," he said.
