 To: 802Apoth LLC d/b/a TRUE-802 Cannabis
 Gianna Gallucci – shane@true802cannabis.com
 From: Cannabis Control Board
 Compliance & Enforcement Division

 Date: December 27, 2024
 Re: Advertisements on Sandwich Boards

Pursuant to Cannabis Control Board (“CCB”) Rule 4.14, you are hereby warned that
the digital advertising described below violates Vermont laws and rules governing
advertising by licensed cannabis establishments.




The above advertisement violates:




 1

 Page 4 of 6
CCB Rule 2.2.10:

 (a) All marketing, advertising, branding, packaging, and promotion must
 include the following warning exactly as it is below:

Cannabis has not been analyzed or approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
For use by individuals 21 years of age and older or registered qualifying patient only. KEEP
THIS PRODUCT AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND PETS. DO NOT USE IF
PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING.
Possession or use of cannabis may carry significant legal penalties in some jurisdictions and
under federal law. It may not be transported outside of the state of Vermont. The effects of
edible cannabis may be delayed by two hours or more. Cannabis may be habit forming
and can impair concentration, coordination, and judgment. Persons 25 years and younger
may be more likely to experience harm to the developing brain.
It is against the law to drive or operate machinery when under the influence of this product.
National Poison Control Center 1-800-222-1222.

CCB Rule 2.2.12:

 (b) That the audience for any outdoor advertisement is the general public,
 and those under 21 years of age will have the same prevalence in that
 audience as they do in the general public, unless a prospective advertiser can
 demonstrate that an outdoor space will not be accessed by the general public
 and that those who can access it meet the audience metric of 7 V.S.A. §
 864(c).

7 V.S.A. § 864:

 (c) Cannabis establishments shall not advertise their products via any
 medium unless the licensee can show that not more than 15 percent of the
 audience is reasonably expected to be under 21 years of age.

Sandwich boards with substantive promotional content, such as substantive
taglines or information about products, events, or discounts, are advertisements
and must comply with audience-composition and content requirements. See
Advertising Guidance, July 2024, p. 6.

Cannabis establishments and their marketing staff should carefully review the
Board’s Advertising Guidance, as well as the statutes and rules to which that
guidance refers, available from ccb.vermont.gov/laws-rules-and-regulations.

Violating advertising laws or regulations is a Category III violation, the
presumptive penalty for which is a corrective action plan and/or an administrative
penalty of not more than $10,000 for a first violation, with enhanced penalties for
subsequent violations. CCB Rule 4.5.3(h).

Any violation of the CCB Rules may be subject to an enforcement action by the
Board. CCB Rule 4.4.1. Not all notices of violation are preceded by a warning.

Please avoid costly violations by ensuring compliance with these requirements
going forward. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at
ccb.compliance@vermont.gov.
