https://greenscreens.tv/blog/ POS-integrated digital menu boards for cannabis dispensaries — guides on digital menus, POS, hardware, and the in-store experience. en-us Thu, 03 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/federal-hemp-ban-december-11-2026-florida-dispensary-playbook/ https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/federal-hemp-ban-december-11-2026-florida-dispensary-playbook/ Thu, 03 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT It's law: the President signed the funding bill on September 2, setting most of the new federal restrictions on hemp-derived cannabinoid products for December 11, 2026 — with products containing cannabinoids the plant can't naturally produce losing hemp status November 12. Here's the week-by-week playbook for Florida dispensaries, from the patient-education funnel you start this month to the day-after plan for December 12. https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/florida-new-dispensary-brands-fino-wildflower-2026/ https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/florida-new-dispensary-brands-fino-wildflower-2026/ Mon, 31 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT Florida's dispensary map is adding brands that had no approved retail locations a year ago — Fino Cannabis is dispensing from its first store, and Wildflower Cannabis just had its first location approved — and they arrived through two completely different doors while the state's 22 pending MMTC applications still wait on final agency action. Here's who the new entrants are, what their paths say about opening store one in a 778-store market, and why the next wave is already visible in the state's weekly tables. https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/square-hemp-cbd-shutoff-florida-dispensaries-2026/ https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/square-hemp-cbd-shutoff-florida-dispensaries-2026/ Mon, 24 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT On August 7, Square told its sellers to pull every CBD and hemp item from their catalogs by October 15 — weeks before the federal ban takes effect, and regardless of whether Congress moves the date to December. The hemp disruption now has a start date no funding bill can slip. Here's why the payments layer moved first, and what it means for Florida dispensaries expecting the customer migration. https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/florida-dispensary-q4-2026-compliance-calendar/ https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/florida-dispensary-q4-2026-compliance-calendar/ Mon, 17 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT Five compliance triggers land between now and New Year's — the hemp ban's moving date, a rescheduling recommendation, 22 pending licenses, permanent rulemaking, and Tallahassee's next move. Here's the operator's calendar. What each date changes in your store, and what to decide before the news lands. https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/federal-hemp-ban-delay-december-2026-florida-dispensaries/ https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/federal-hemp-ban-delay-december-2026-florida-dispensaries/ Mon, 10 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT In a 3am vote on August 8, the Senate passed a funding bill that pushes most of the federal hemp-THC ban from November 12 to December 11. But the House hasn't agreed, synthetic cannabinoids still lose protection in November, and 35 attorneys general want the delay killed. Here's how Florida dispensaries plan a Q4 menu around a compliance date that keeps moving. https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/dispensary-discount-strategy-price-compression-2026/ https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/dispensary-discount-strategy-price-compression-2026/ Mon, 03 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT New point-of-sale data says the average cannabis discount rate hit 26% of shelf value in June 2026 — up from 22.8% a year ago. Most stores can't say where that quarter goes. Here's how to audit your discounting, which promos actually earn their keep, and why Florida operators should fix this before the 22 new licenses land. https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/florida-medical-marijuana-card-renewal-rule-2026-dispensaries/ https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/florida-medical-marijuana-card-renewal-rule-2026-dispensaries/ Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT As of July 27, 2026, Florida's Medical Marijuana Use Registry blocks card applications — initial or renewal — unless a current or scheduled physician certification with open orders is on file. Patients will find out the hard way. Here's why that's silent churn for dispensaries, and the cheapest way to get ahead of it. https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/dispensary-grand-opening-playbook-screens-day-one/ https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/dispensary-grand-opening-playbook-screens-day-one/ Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT Day one is your highest-traffic, lowest-loyalty day. Here's what the biggest operators put in front of first-time customers at a grand opening — and how to run the same playbook on your screens without an MSO's marketing department. https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/marijuana-schedule-iii-dispensary-operations-2026/ https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/marijuana-schedule-iii-dispensary-operations-2026/ Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT The DEA's rescheduling hearing wrapped up July 15 — but for medical dispensaries, the big change already happened in April. Here's what's law today, what 280E relief is actually worth, what's still pending, and the operator to-do list. https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/florida-hemp-thc-ban-nov-2026-dispensary-merchandising/ https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/florida-hemp-thc-ban-nov-2026-dispensary-merchandising/ Mon, 06 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT On November 12, 2026, federal law effectively bans hemp products above 0.4 mg total THC per container — pulling delta-8, THCA flower, and today's THC drinks off gas-station and smoke-shop shelves. Here's how Florida dispensaries should merchandise for the customers headed their way. https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/florida-dispensary-marketing-rules-in-store-display-2026/ https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/florida-dispensary-marketing-rules-in-store-display-2026/ Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Florida's dispensary marketing rules (2026) are among the strictest in retail — one exterior sign, interior-only marketing, and tightly controlled content under MMTC advertising rule 64ER25-6. Here's what you can and can't display in-store. https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/cannabis-going-mainstream-2026-dispensary-experience/ https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/cannabis-going-mainstream-2026-dispensary-experience/ Tue, 23 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Schedule III, a Supreme Court gun-rights win, and a rewritten ATF form all point the same way — cannabis is becoming normal retail. Here's what that shift means for how your store looks and communicates, and what it doesn't change. https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/florida-22-new-mmtc-licenses-dispensary-tech-checklist/ https://greenscreens.tv/v2/blog/florida-22-new-mmtc-licenses-dispensary-tech-checklist/ Sat, 13 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Florida is nearly doubling its licensed operators.
