In Ohio, the laws governing cannabis advertising are designed to promote responsible messaging and safeguard community standards. These regulations are a crucial aspect of Ohio's approach to managing the emerging legal cannabis market. Key elements of Ohio's cannabis advertising laws include:

 

Location Restrictions: Advertisements for cannabis products must not be placed within a certain distance of schools, playgrounds, public parks, libraries, or youth centers to prevent exposure to minors.

 

Content Regulations: Advertising content should not target minors or promote excessive consumption. This includes avoiding imagery or language that might appeal specifically to younger audiences, such as cartoon characters or exaggerated lifestyle promises.

 

Public Transit and Public Property: Restrictions are in place regarding the placement of cannabis advertisements on public transit vehicles and public property, aligning with the state's goal of controlled and responsible advertising.

 

Truthfulness and Transparency: All cannabis advertising must be truthful and not misleading. Claims about the benefits and effects of cannabis products must be substantiated and in line with current scientific understanding.

 

Digital and Social Media Guidelines: While digital platforms offer a broad reach, Ohio's regulations may include specific guidelines for online advertising, including restrictions on platforms that are accessible to minors.
