D.C. tightens ads and Virginia moves toward adult-use sales

Recent state-level cannabis updates bring significant regulatory and market
developments. In Washington, D.C., the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis
Board finalized new medical cannabis advertising and signage rules,
limiting exterior signs, restricting window coverage, and prohibiting
misleading claims. Virginia launched a public Medical Cannabis Program
Dashboard, offering real-time sales and inventory data, while lawmakers
advanced an adult-use retail framework that could bring regulated cannabis
sales as early as late 2026. Meanwhile, Maryland regulators ended enhanced
reporting requirements for Seven Points Agro Therapeutics after the company
successfully met compliance benchmarks under a 2023 Consent Order.
