Instead, the working group — which had been meeting for months — decided to submit more than a dozen different and often conflicting ideas for new regulations to the legislature, which will re-argue the issue beginning in January.
"It's a wide-open game starting Jan. 7, when we get back in session," state Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, said Monday at the conclusion of the working group's final meeting.
During this year's legislative session, Singer had been one of the sponsors of the bill that prompted the working group. The bill requires the Department of Revenue — the state agency overseeing marijuana businesses — to come up with rules to limit accidental ingestion of marijuana-infused edibles.
The rules must be in place by 2016, and they will apply only to edibles sold in recreational marijuana stores. Edibles sold in medical-marijuana dispensaries or made at home will not be subject to the rules.
