	abstract = {Objectives: Given the evolving cannabis marketplace (e.g., products, marketing strategies), this study examined online cannabis marketing practices over time. Methods: In 2022 and 2023, researchers assessed website content (e.g., age verification, sales, delivery, warnings, ad content, promotional strategies) among 175 randomly-selected cannabis retailers’ websites across 5 US cities (Denver, Colorado; Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon; Las Vegas, Nevada; Los Angeles [LA], California, n=∼35/city). Analyses compared data from 2022 vs. 2023 and considered regulatory factors across cities. Results: Similar to 2022, in 2023, 76.6 \% required age verification for site entry, 85.1 \% used social media promotion, and 90.9 \% offered online sales (82.4 \% of which required age verification and 34.6 \% offered delivery). There were significant (p {\textless} .05) decreases from 2022 to 2023 in the proportions indicating medical card requirements (27.4 \% to 15.4 \%), purchase limits (59.4 \% to 47.4 \%), health warnings (38.9 \% to 29.7 \%), health benefits (60 \% to 47.4 \%), and discounts/price promotions (92.6 \% to 86.3 \%). In 2023, proportions differed across cities in ways reflecting whether state/local law allowed online sales ({\textgreater}90 \% in Denver, Las Vegas, LA), allowed discounts/price promotions (100 \% in Denver and Las Vegas), or required health warnings (48–60 \% in Seattle and LA vs. {\textless} 20 \% elsewhere). Despite all sites prohibiting youth-oriented content and all but Denver and Las Vegas prohibiting health claims, 30.3 \% posted content targeting youth/young adults (LA = 8.1 \% to Denver = 74.2 \%) and 47.4 \% health claims (Seattle = 27.0 \% to Denver = 71.0 \%). Conclusions: Online cannabis retail presents risks for access and appeal to minors, emphasizes health benefits, and uses price promotions, regardless of restrictions, indicating need for greater regulatory efforts.},
