The CCB understands the important role that 4/20 plays in celebrating cannabis.
Please take note of these important reminders so that all cannabis establishments can promote their business safely and responsibly.
Our compliance agents will be in the field visiting retail establishments.
No cannabis giveaways
Cannabis cannot be offered for free or given away as part of any special incentive. Buy-one, get-one sales are permissible if there is a meaningful exchange of value (no penny sales).
No on-site consumption
Consumption of cannabis is prohibited in any place of public accommodation.
An advisory about point-of-sale systems on 4/20
In recent years, point-of-sale systems have failed due to high sales volumes on 4/20. Retailers should have contingency plans in place in the event their point-of-sale system stops working. Contingency plans must include provisions for data collection and accessibility by the CCB.
No appealing to children (No Easter Bunnies)
You may have noticed that 4/20 falls on Easter Sunday this year. Please be aware that appealing to children and youth with cartoons, egg hunts, Easter bunnies, etc. is prohibited.
