SB 17-015

Senate Bill 17-015, which has been signed into law, makes it illegal for people who are not licensed to sell medical or recreational marijuana in Colorado to advertise for the sale of marijuana. This applies to advertisements for both marijuana and its concentrates but excludes certain groups like primary caregivers and manufacturers from this restriction. The law aims to regulate how marijuana is advertised by unauthorized sellers, helping to maintain control over the legal cannabis market.
