This bill amends Section 427.21 of the Oklahoma medical marijuana law to expand advertising restrictions for medical marijuana businesses. It prohibits advertising that is deceptive, false, or misleading and specifically bans statements that promote overconsumption or suggest that marijuana use is safe or harmless. Additionally, the bill restricts marketing of flavored medical marijuana products as healthier alternatives and includes provisions to prevent advertisements that appeal to children, such as using toys or characters, or depicting improved social status or athletic performance.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that all medical marijuana commercial grower licensees must post specific signage at their grow operations, detailing the business name, address, phone number, and license number. The signage must meet certain size and font requirements and comply with local regulations. Failure to erect the proper signage within sixty days of license renewal will result in immediate revocation of the grower license. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2025.
