New marijuana retailers looking to connect with consumers might inadvertently violate federal law by using robocalls or text messages if they don’t first ask for recipient’s permission.
The 1991 Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) prohibits private companies from using unsolicited text messages or calls to advertise to consumers. TCPA cases involving marijuana businesses have proliferated since 2018.
