California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed legislation that would have banned the labeling of cannabis products in a manner appealing to children, citing the broad nature of its language.

Assembly Bill 1207, authored by Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin (D-Thousand Oaks), was designed to protect youth from accidental cannabis poisoning by prohibiting the use of food-like images and words on product packaging.
