The Ohio Division of Cannabis Control has proposed a new rule package for the state’s cannabis industry, including a ban on cannabis advertising via methods “with a high likelihood of reaching persons under the age of 18,” Cleveland.com reports. The rules would prohibit cannabis companies from advertising on billboards, radio, television, and online.
The rules would also allow the sale of pre-rolls and “super pre-rolls” — flower pre-rolls infused with concentrates — at state-licensed adult-use dispensaries. The rules prohibit any pre-roll products from being sold through the state’s medical cannabis dispensaries as the state bars patients from smokeable products.
Tom Haren, a spokesman for the Ohio Cannabis Coalition, a cannabis industry trade group, told Cleveland.com that the organization is still reviewing the proposals.
“The industry continues to appreciate the speed in which the division is promulgating some of these final rules packages, and working with the industry to continue to transition away from medical-only rules, and to get these 10B (dual medical and recreational) dispensaries licensed and allowing us to serve the dual-use market.” — Haren to Cleveland.com
The rules also outline how dispensaries can offer discounts,
