Summary

Marijuana Advertising in Legal States Act of 2016 or the MAILS Act This bill amends the Controlled Substances Act to modify the application of a provision that limits advertisements with respect to certain controlled substances.

This legislation declares that the prohibition does not apply with respect to an advertisement for a marijuana-related activity that complies with state law.
