Michigan regulators want California-based Weedmaps to honor its commitment to not run ads from illicit marijuana operations.

Marijuana Regulatory Agency Director Andrew Brisbo said he’s been assured by Weedmaps that it won’t be entering contracts with MJ businesses “without validating they hold a state-level license,” Mlive.com reported.

In August, Weedmaps said it would not run ads for unlicensed cannabis retail stores.
