As a locally-owned dispensary, it’s essential to stay informed and compliant when promoting your products on social media and across the web. However, with the legal landscape for cannabis products evolving rapidly, varying rules across different platforms, and the ever-changing marketing guidelines and regulations, it’s a lot to keep up with.
By partnering with our agency, you can ensure that your digital presence adheres to all the guidelines while still effectively promoting your products on social media and the web allowing you to focus on running your business while leaving the marketing to the experts.
Stay Compliant on Social Media
Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram have their own sets of guidelines when it comes to cannabis-related content. Here’s what dispensaries should keep in mind:
Avoid Paid Advertising:
Most major social media platforms do not allow paid advertisements for cannabis products. This means dispensaries need to rely on organic content and community engagement to reach their audience.
Age Restrictions:
Platforms often require dispensaries to restrict their content to audiences of legal age. Ensure you have age-gating measures in place.
Content Restrictions:
Be cautious when posting content related to cannabis. Avoid making health claims, exaggerations, or promoting excessive consumption.
Disclaimers:
In some cases, it may be necessary to include disclaimers or warnings in your content to ensure compliance with platform policies.
Utilize Cannabis-Friendly Platforms
While major social media platforms have strict guidelines, some cannabis-specific citations and communities cater to the industry. We ensure your dispensary takes full advantage of platforms like Leafly and Weedmaps which designed for cannabis businesses and enthusiasts, offering more lenient advertising policies.
Create High-Quality, Educational Content
To engage your audience and remain compliant, focus on creating high-quality, educational content that informs and empowers your customers. Share information about different strains, usage methods, and the benefits of your products. By providing value and knowledge, you can build trust and loyalty with your audience.

The cannabis industry is ever-evolving, and so are the rules and regulations surrounding marketing. By staying vigilant and keeping an eye on updates and changes in guidelines, we’re prepared to adapt your marketing strategies accordingly.
