Being forced to take plastic bags

I sent the following message to my State's cannabis regulatory agency:

When i go to Mystic Greenz in [city], they put my purchase in a branded disposable plastic bag.

Is this required by state law?

To be clear: the cannabis flower comes in a sealed jar, then they put that sealed container into a branded Mystic Greenz bag with my receipt.

I have asked several times to not be given a bag. I have complained about their policy and have been told by multiple staff that they require me to leave with a bag because of state law. I reviewed state law and saw no such requirement.

Can you please let me know if it's a state law? And if no, do i have any right to decline taking the plastic bag? I don't want to contribute to environmental harm by taking unnecessary plastic bags, nor do i wish to advertise for them by carrying a branded bag.
