New York Transit Rules Now Prohibit Marijuana Ads On Subways, Buses
Updated ad guidelines bar both any ads related to marijuana or magic mushrooms
An updated version of the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority’s advertising policies now includes a ban on marijuana product ads on subways and buses.
According to Morning Brew, the updated guidelines were released after the settlement of a lawsuit in which sex-tech company Dame claimed the institution’s ban on sex-related ads were discriminatory.
Marijuana had not merited a specific mention in previous versions of the MTA’s rules, but the updated regulations bar any ads related to marijuana or hallucinogenic mushrooms.
The new policy is a result of “recent developments in the decriminalization of cannabis in New York,” according to minutes from a November MTA board meeting, Morning Brew reported.
