Bill > S94

This bill proposes amendments to Chapter 94G of Massachusetts General Laws, which regulates cannabis (marijuana) advertising. Specifically, the bill would prohibit billboard advertisements for non-prescription marijuana, adding a new restriction to existing advertising rules. The legislation would modify current regulations by completely banning marijuana-related billboards, whereas previous rules only restricted advertising to audiences where at least 85% were expected to be 21 years or older. Additionally, the bill includes a provision requiring any marijuana advertising locations to have entry restricted to those 21 and older, and mandates that warnings about marijuana use must be "conspicuous" in such advertisements. These changes are intended to further limit marijuana advertising's visibility and potential exposure to younger audiences, aligning with public health and youth protection objectives in cannabis regulation.
