The Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission voted
unanimously Thursday to ban billboard, radio, TV and most online advertising by
marijuana companies — a move that representatives for the firms said they would
fight in the General Assemblywhen it
convenes next month.
The new rules also prohibit advertising in print publications such as newspapers and magazines that cannot prove that 85 percent of their audience is over 18 years old, and bans the use of leaflets or flyers in most public and private places.
