Cannabis Marketing

Cannabis marketing is one of the most regulated advertising categories in the country, and dispensary marketing becomes even more complicated when every state, county, and municipality has its own rules. Traditional cannabis advertising is often blocked by big billboard vendors, digital platforms, transit companies, and mainstream ad networks , which is why dispensary advertising requires creativity, compliance, and smarter outdoor strategy. At AGM, we specialize in cannabis marketing and dispensary marketing solutions that bypass restrictive platforms and deliver real results through high-impact guerrilla formats that stay within state laws while maximizing exposure.
We understand state-by-state cannabis advertising rules, from what you’re allowed to show, to what disclaimers must appear, to which neighborhoods and distance zones are restricted. Our team knows which imagery is prohibited, how to handle product representation, what compliance looks like for recreational vs. medical markets, and how to structure messaging so your cannabis advertising and dispensary advertising stays legal while still being effective. When traditional media rejects cannabis campaigns, guerrilla marketing becomes the smartest and most reliable way to reach customers.
If your goals include visibility, brand awareness, dispensary traffic, or market expansion, cannabis marketing through outdoor guerrilla strategies gives you the freedom and impact that regulated channels can’t.
Cannabis marketing is governed by strict state laws that limit where and how dispensary advertising can appear. Some states require disclaimers. Others prohibit showing the product. Some ban depictions of consumption, fruit imagery, or anything that might appeal to minors. In many states, cannabis advertising must avoid schools, parks, churches, and playgrounds by up to 1,000 feet. Because rules vary widely across states like California, Colorado, Florida, New York, Missouri, and Massachusetts, knowing the legal landscape is essential. Our team evaluates every jurisdiction so your cannabis marketing stays compliant while still garnering high-volume impressions.
Cannabis Marketing
Major billboard companies, transit authorities, rideshare networks, and digital ad platforms routinely reject cannabis advertising due to federal restrictions, internal policies, insurance liabilities, and risk ratings. Even when cannabis marketing is fully legal at the state level, national operators may deny placements. This creates a massive barrier for dispensary advertising, pushing most marketers to seek alternatives. That’s why guerrilla formats like wild posting, projection, stencils, snipes, and creative outdoor placements have become the backbone of modern cannabis advertising.

Example:
We build every cannabis marketing campaign with these rules in mind so your dispensary advertising stays compliant nationwide.
Guerrilla marketing gives cannabis brands the freedom traditional media blocks. Because we operate with print-based, non-digital, street-level formats, we can run cannabis advertising without relying on restrictive corporate ad networks. Wild posting walls, stencil campaigns, projection advertising, snipes, and outdoor poster grids allow dispensaries to create massive neighborhood visibility without violating platform rules. For cannabis marketing, this means high volume, high impact, and full creative control while still adhering to any state compliance requirements.
We focus on outdoor guerrilla advertising that bypasses traditional media restrictions while staying compliant. This includes:
These formats allow you to scale cannabis advertising quickly across neighborhoods, nightlife corridors, business districts, and high-foot-traffic areas.

Cannabis Marketing
Our targeting is built around compliance requirements and real behavioral movement. We map:
Then we overlay city restrictions, distance buffers, and state-specific cannabis marketing rules to ensure the safest and most effective placements.
Strategic placement is everything. We study foot traffic, commuter paths, nightlife patterns, dispensary competition zones, city rules, and retail heatmaps. This helps place your cannabis marketing exactly where customers are already moving. When your dispensary advertising shows up repeatedly around high-volume intersections, nightlife areas, and retail corridors, it builds familiarity and increases store visits without relying on restricted platforms.
Our team reviews each state’s cannabis advertising regulations before planning a campaign. We check:
