FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What disclaimers does Oregon require on cannabis ads?

Oregon's cannabis advertising rules require state-specific warning copy and age-gating disclosures on most creative formats. The exact disclaimer language varies by format (digital vs OOH vs broadcast vs in-store) and by category (flower vs concentrates vs ingestibles). Highfloor builds the required disclaimer copy into every creative variant before flight.

What practice patterns differ in Oregon vs other adult-use states?

Oregon's 71.6%+ adult framework is one of the more workable frameworks — most 21+ venue inventory qualifies, with creative-side rules carrying more of the compliance load. Portland concentrates most of the active cannabis advertising work.

What's the typical cannabis flight structure in Oregon?

For Oregon cannabis brands, twelve-week flights are standard, weighted to the dayparts that match the metro's audience pattern. Reporting runs at the venue and daypart level weekly; in-flight optimization rotates underperforming venues out and shifts weight toward the strongest performers within the first three weeks. Compliance documentation under 71.6%+ adult runs alongside the flight reporting.
