Cannabis - Prohibition on Outdoor Advertising - Repeal

HB 880 repeals Maryland's ban on outdoor cannabis advertising, specifically removing the prohibition against placing ads on building sides, billboards, or other publicly visible locations (currently under Section 36-903(a)(v)). This change directly affects cannabis businesses seeking to use traditional outdoor signage for marketing. The bill maintains existing restrictions, such as age verification for websites, prohibitions on targeting minors, and requiring 85% adult audiences for digital ads. The repeal takes effect October 1, 2025.
