Hi Folks,
First time poster here with random question about Bay Area radio and medical marijuana dispensaries. Wondering if a federal law is being broken if a station were to air that type of spot. Your insight and thoughts are appreciated!

I've produced several of these types of commercials for a "major corporate radio station" in the past. The company's position from legal was that as long as the spots were in the spirit of the medical marijuana law, then they were OK to run. Legal would often review copy for approval and make minor changes once in a while.
A growing category, to be sure!

They can, I remember KLSX down here in L.A. having ads for medical marijuana occasionally. Not to mention, there was a big marijuana ad on the old site.

I forget which station, but I hear ads all the time for a place called Harborside Health Center in Oakland. Well done advertising, actually. They tout the fact that they provide scientific analysis of their product.

Very interesting topic, glad you brought it up! Although, it's giving me the munchies...  I had a dilemna with a local "smoke shop" that I did v/o for about 2 years ago. Careful wording got it on (a conservative newstalk station). Hey, money is money. |

I was told by four people that on November 19, oldies station KCCL in Sacramento (actually,
licensed to Shingle Springs) ran spots for Canna Care, a medicinal marijuana outlet.

Thats really nice that you CA peeps can smoke pot as long as your doc says its ok,,, Given that most celebs and rich people live in CA and can buy off docs and lawers and cops.... Well isnt that nice. In the rest of the U.S you smoke pot, you go to jail, No Acceptions,, CA should be no different.. This is just like people like Tiger Woods getting off Scott Free.. BTW,, im not attacking the poster who was simply asking a question, nor am I attacking the radio stations for accepting paid ads, but if its legal in CA, it should be legal everywhere,, last I checked CA was part of the U.S.A,, not an extention of Ampsterdam, and guess what,, you get caught smoking or selling weed in the other 49 states, and your not a celeb or millionare, you go to jail..

Hey midwestern clubber - you sound like you could really stand to get a good quarter ounce and get a clue what medical cannabis is all about, and quit being jealous of movie stars, Hollywood, and people who get to have a cement pond. Maybe you need to do a little more traveling and see how other parts of the world get by without comparing everyone else to the only way you know. "Go to Jail?" What substance have YOU been imbiding?
