Activists in Colorado called on Thursday for the fast implementation of rules requiring marijuana-infused edibles be clearly distinguishable from regular products when removed from their original packaging.

Colorado and Washington this year became the first U.S. states to allow recreational sales of the drug to adult, and much of the public debate has since centered on regulations for edibles such as pot cookies, chocolates and drinks.

Members of Smart Colorado, a non-profit aimed at informing young people about the risks from marijuana, told a state law enforcement meeting in the city of Golden that there were many examples of accidental pot consumption, including by children.

A bill sponsored by Smart Colorado, which passed with bipartisan support, requires that by Jan. 1, 2016, the state adopt rules requiring pot edibles “be shaped, stamped, colored or otherwise marked with a standard symbol indicating that it contains marijuana,” and is not for consumption by children.
