SellTreez: Can I Apply a 100% Discount on Cannabis?

Question:

Can I apply a 100% discount on cannabis products?

Answer:

You should always check with your compliance resource on state-specific rules first.

For example, in California, you cannot. The item(s) must be at least a penny to remain in compliance.
