Q: Does a website horizontal to the cannabis industry need to be age blocked?
My website will be selling terpene infused gummies. Terpenes are in basically every fruit and vegetable. When taken with cannabis, users can get unique or enhanced effects. You cannot buy or access any regulated substance on my website.
Would this fall under the same laws as a cannabis website because it is promoted to cannabis users and has cannabis information on it?
A:
A website horizontal to the cannabis industry, such as a website selling terpene-infused gummies, would likely need to be age-blocked. This is because the website is likely to be of interest to minors, and it is essential to protect minors from exposure to cannabis-related products and information.
