FACEBOOK DOESN’T ‘LIKE’ CANNABIS ADS
Facebook will maintain its ban on cannabis ads, MarketWatch reports. The internet giant considered ads for dispensaries, as well as just MED dispensaries but ultimately decided against them.
- Among other reasons, it would be difficult to keep up with laws across different jurisdictions.
- Current policy allows ads for CBD and smoking accessories.
- Rebecca Brown, founder of the Crowns Agency: “The bitter pill of this decision was that Facebook could have become an opportunity that could have solved very significant impediments to [cannabis companies] becoming a Coke, a Starbucks, a Walmart.”
- A new billboard in Times Square says, “Facebook: Stop Censoring Hemp.”
