Bill Summary

Relative to cannabis advertisements by out of state dispensaries. Cannabis Policy.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to modify Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 94G, Section 4, by adding a new provision that specifically prohibits advertising by cannabis dispensaries that operate exclusively outside of Massachusetts. The amendment would add language restricting out-of-state cannabis dispensaries from running advertisements within the Commonwealth, effectively preventing businesses located solely in other states from marketing their cannabis products to Massachusetts residents. This change appears to be aimed at protecting local cannabis businesses and maintaining stricter control over cannabis advertising within the state's borders. The bill is relatively brief and focused on a narrow but specific regulatory constraint in the cannabis industry, targeting promotional activities by non-Massachusetts-based cannabis retailers.
