An Act relative to cannabis advertisements by out of state dispensaries

This bill prohibits dispensaries located outside of Massachusetts from advertising their products within the state. It directly affects out-of-state cannabis businesses by banning their marketing efforts in Massachusetts. The key mechanism is a simple amendment to existing law that adds a specific clause forbidding such advertisements. This change aims to restrict the promotional activities of non-local cannabis retailers operating within the Commonwealth.
