Approved by the Governor - Chapter 416
Summary
The bill revises Maryland’s cannabis advertising regulations by prohibiting ads that directly or indirectly target anyone under 21, requiring that at least 85 % of an ad’s audience be adults, and mandating age‑verification on cannabis‑related websites. It also allows standard dispensaries to display limited exterior signs for identification and safety information, and it changes the ownership‑control threshold for social‑equity license applicants. The Maryland Cannabis Administration must collect audience data and adopt an alternative method for determining audience composition by Jan 1 2027.
