Compliant by default, so your list stays healthy
Double opt-in
Every subscriber confirms twice, with age checks, so your list is clean and consent is documented.

Cannabis-friendly sending
Messages are written and sent to stay within carrier rules for cannabis businesses.
Marketing questions
Can dispensaries actually send text messages?
Yes, with the right setup. Carriers have strict rules for cannabis messaging, so consent, age checks and message content matter. Budfront is built around those rules and our team reviews campaigns before they go out.
Is texting included in the price?
Your plan includes a generous monthly sending allowance. High-volume stores can add more at cost, with no markup.
Can I import my existing subscribers?
Yes, as long as you have documented consent. We’ll help you review your list and re-confirm anyone we need to.
Who writes the messages?
Our team writes your automations and holiday campaigns. You can edit anything or write your own at any time.
