SACRAMENTO, Calif. - In a downer for California's legal marijuana industry, regulators say some highway billboards advertising such products must come down.
The state Bureau of Cannabis Control on Thursday ordered billboard companies to stop selling space for cannabis marketing and take down existing ads on roads that cross state borders. Previously, such ads were only banned within a 15-mile radius of the California border.
