§ 02 — WHAT YOU GET

Three deliverables. Zero filler.

01 / QUARTERLY

The 3-page brief

Every quarter. State-by-state. Cover with the TL;DR, detail page with action items, watch list for next quarter. Designed for skim-read.

02 / INTERRUPT

Mid-quarter alerts

If a state regulator drops a major rule change between quarterly briefs, you get a 1-page interrupt brief within 5 business days. No waiting until the next quarter to act.

03 / ARCHIVE

Searchable history

Every back-issue stays in your subscriber library. New rules build on old ones. Track when a state's rules changed, what the previous version was, and when.

§ 03 — WHO IT'S FOR

If you run paid media for dispensaries, this pays for itself in one quarter.

WORTH $49/YEAR FOR YOU IF:

  • You manage paid media for one or more cannabis dispensaries across any state in the Matrix.
  • You've ever had an ad pulled, a campaign paused, or a fine issued because a rule changed and you didn't catch it.
  • You're at an MSO with 5+ stores and the cost of one compliance miss is more than $49.
  • You're an agency strategist running multiple dispensary clients and need a shared baseline.
  • You want forward-looking signal on regulatory shifts, not just a recap of what already happened.

NOT FOR YOU IF:

  • You don't run any paid media in cannabis. The free Matrix is enough.
  • You operate exclusively in a single state and never run multi-state campaigns.
  • You already have a compliance counsel on retainer reviewing every ad.
  • You want detailed legal analysis. This is operational signal, not legal counsel.
  • You think $49/year is a lot. The brief is built for operators where one compliance miss costs more.
§ 04 — COMMON QUESTIONS

What people ask before they sign up.

What's the difference between Pro and the free Matrix?

The Matrix is a snapshot. Pro is the diff. The Matrix tells you what the rules are right now. Pro tells you what changed this quarter, what to do about it, and what's coming next. If you're managing live campaigns, you need both.

Why $49 a year and not monthly?

Cannabis ad regulation moves on quarterly cycles, not monthly. You don't need a monthly subscription. The annual price covers four briefs plus interrupt alerts, which works out to roughly $12 per quarter. One compliance miss costs more.

What's "founding member pricing"?

The first 100 subscribers lock in $49/year for as long as they stay subscribed. The standard rate after that is $99/year. If you join the waitlist now, you're in the founding cohort.

Will the price go up?

Yes. The plan is $99/year for new subscribers after the first 100 sign up. Founding members keep $49 indefinitely.

Is this legal advice?

No. The Pixel Desk is not a law firm. Pro is operational signal for paid media managers. Before launching campaigns in any state, confirm with compliance counsel.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No long-term contract. Cancel from your account or by reply email. Annual subscription, no auto-renew traps.

What if there's no rule change in a quarter?

There's always a rule change in cannabis. In the rare quarter where nothing material moves at the state level, the brief covers federal developments, platform policy shifts, and trends in enforcement. You're never not getting value.

Lock in $49/year before launch.

Founding member pricing closes at 100 subscribers. The standard rate after that is $99/year. If you run paid media for dispensaries, get on the list now and pay less, forever.
