SCOTTSDALE – A Jan. 23 Cronkite News story on a Scottsdale company capitalizing on the growing medical marijuana industry in Arizona contained inaccurate information attributed to Anthony Evans, a senior research fellow at the L. William Seidman Research Institute at the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University, on whether dispensaries can advertise. According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, marijuana dispensaries and related business are allowed to advertise their products and services how they see fit. Any existing local ordinances would apply, but there are no explicit regulations at the state level.
