Missouri Cannabis Companies Can No Longer Advertise Strain Names

Ganjapreneur report

Under a new directive, Missouri medical cannabis companies can no longer advertise strain names or engage in any other form of advertising.

Missouri medical cannabis companies can no longer advertise strain names — or employ any other type of advertising outside of listing prices on their websites — under a new directive from the compliance director for the program, Greenway Magazine reports. The letter from Andrea Balkenbush, the facility license and compliance director for the Medical Marijuana Regulatory Program at the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, also prohibits cannabis companies from accepting online payments through third-party sites.

“The Department views a promotional event as any activity, advertisement, or publicity designed to increase interest in purchasing medical marijuana or a particular product or brand of medical marijuana. For example, facilities are not allowed to advertise price discounts on a particular product because that would result in disbursing medical marijuana as part of a promotional event.” — Balkenbush, in the letter, via Greenway Magazine
