Cannabis advertising
Cannabis advertising is the advertising of cannabis products to consumers by the cannabis industry through a variety of media. It is regulated by U.S. states. Some or all forms of cannabis advertising are banned in many countries.
Severely limiting advertising is considered part of a "grudging toleration" approach to cannabis.[1]
Beckley Foundation created New Draft Framework Convention on Cannabis Control in 2010 with Comprehensive ban proposal[2][3]
California specifically prohibits false health claims in advertising.[4]
A form of cross-promotion for cannabis and fast food was used in three California Jack in the Box locations in conjunction with the January 1, 2018 cannabis legalization under Proposition 64.[5][6][7][8]
Mail delivery of print advertising for cannabis is prohibited by U.S. Federal regulations and laws,[9] and traditional print media may face "fear of driving away other advertisers",[10] creating an advertising market in local alternative newsweeklies.
Canada's national cannabis legalization will impose strict rules on advertising "similar to those governing the sale of cigarettes".[11]
Anti-cannabis advertising
Anti-cannabis advertising campaigns, usually run as public service announcements, have included the Stoner Sloth campaign in Australia, DrugsNot4Me in Canada,[12] and several campaigns created by Partnership for a Drug-Free America including the "pot surgeon" PSA from the 1990s.[13][14]
