PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WPRI) — A Rhode Island marijuana dispensary put up massive billboards along I-95 in Pawtucket on Thursday, in potential defiance of the state's advertising ban that business owners have said is unfair. The billboards for Mother Earth Wellness, a medical and recreational dispensary in Pawtucket located right next to the highway, depict the business name and logo and direct drivers to the nearest highway exit to get to the dispensary. Rhode Island marijuana businesses are barred from advertising under a regulation connected to their license, which has been the case since the state only allowed medical sales.
