Text your customers within Georgia’s cannabis advertising rules

Georgia has a medical-only cannabis program

Retail licensing and advertising rules are enforced by the Georgia Access to Medical Cannabis Commission. For billboards, social media and other channels, see our cannabis advertising rules beyond texting.

Start with consent, your store name and an opt-out line

• Text only people who opted in, and keep the record of when and how they did. Our guide to SMS opt-in and consent for dispensaries covers what to record.
• Put your store name first and an opt-out line on every text.
• Keep product details, prices and offers on an age-gated page rather than in the text, and check the wording against our list of banned words in cannabis texts.
