Cannabis advertising in Dallas.
Highfloor's curated bar TV network across Dallas plus programmatic and rideshare layers, scoped to the local cannabis-consumer geography and dispensary footprint.
Cannabis is not legal in Texas — the state has no adult-use program and the limited Compassionate Use Program (medical, very restricted) does not support full cannabis advertising. We do not run cannabis flights in Texas.

The DFW network supports CBD and hemp brands running compliance-cleared flights but full THC advertising is not available. For brands operating across multiple legal-cannabis states, we coordinate DFW awareness flights for CBD/hemp portfolios alongside full-THC flights in Texas-adjacent legal markets.
When Texas legalizes adult-use cannabis (state-level conversations are ongoing but legislative progress has been slow), our DFW network will be ready to run full cannabis flights — the bar TV venue infrastructure across Uptown, Deep Ellum, and the suburb corridors is already in place.
Texas remains a medical-only cannabis state in 2026 (Compassionate Use Program limited to specific qualifying conditions). Adult-use cannabis advertising is not within Highfloor's Dallas-network scope. Hemp and CBD brands operating under federal and Texas-specific rules can run flights through the network; the bar TV venue infrastructure across Uptown, Deep Ellum, Bishop Arts, Plano, and Fort Worth is in place when the regulatory permission set evolves.
Texas legislative conversations on adult-use legalization have continued through multiple sessions without producing a path to an active program in 2026. For multi-state cannabis operators building a Southwest or Texas-adjacent footprint, the Dallas market remains a brand-awareness opportunity (recognition halo for cross-border consumer travel) more than a direct conversion market. The infrastructure to run full THC flights is ready when the program opens.
Frequently asked questions
Can cannabis brands legally advertise on Highfloor's bar TV network?
Yes, in the three markets where we operate adult-use cannabis flights — Arizona, Massachusetts, and Illinois. Each state has its own audience-composition requirements (Massachusetts requires 85%+ adult audience; Illinois requires the audience to be reasonably expected adult; Arizona has its own variant). Highfloor's curation only includes 21+ venues that meet these thresholds, and we run compliance review on every flight.
What happens to creative during compliance review?
Every creative cut goes through the operator's compliance counsel and is reviewed against the relevant state's rules — no health claims, no consumption depiction, no minors, required disclaimers (varies by state), and any state-specific warning text. We don't ship creative without sign-off from the brand's compliance team.
What about Massachusetts' restrictive rules?
Massachusetts under 935 CMR 500.105(4) requires 85%+ adult audience and prohibits FCC-regulated TV/radio. Bar TV networks operating as private venue networks (not over-the-air) and meeting the audience-composition rule are permitted. The required 'Please Consume Responsibly' disclaimer plus warnings about impairment, health risks, and operating vehicles must appear. Highfloor handles these requirements as part of standard compliance review.
What about Illinois?
Illinois under 410 ILCS 705 requires that no more than 30% of the audience be reasonably expected to be under 21 and prohibits placement near schools, parks, and playgrounds. Venue eligibility is checked against this rule on every flight; Highfloor maintains an updated exclusion list.
What about Arizona?
Arizona under A.R.S. § 36-2854 and Title 19, Chapter 4, Article 2 permits cannabis advertising in venues whose adult-audience composition meets the 21+ majority requirement. Phoenix-area sports bars and adult-only lounges generally meet this; verification documentation is part of every flight.
Can I run multi-state campaigns?
Yes — Highfloor regularly runs flights across all three of our priority markets simultaneously, with state-specific creative variants, separate compliance documentation per market, and consolidated reporting. Multi-state cannabis is one of our strongest case categories.
What attribution do I get for a cannabis flight?
Foot-traffic lift to dispensary locations measured against a rolling twelve-week baseline within a five-mile radius. Branded-search and menu-page traffic halo. Optional: integration with the operator's POS for transaction-level attribution where the data infrastructure supports it.
