Let’s remember the Cannabis community, culture and content aren’t going anywhere.
In our understanding, legalization in the Americas is driven by three values:
  • protecting youth,
  • mitigating illegal profits through criminalized sales,
  • and protecting public health and safety.
As we wait for federal legalization in the US - we acknowledge there is no systematic monitoring or enforcement for cannabis advertising & promotion.

Social media platforms and digital communities work within environments that are aware of the international impact of cannabis content - from the ease of access to online media and downstream consequences of unregulated promotion. This calls for a conscious approach for cannabis brands and advocates as thought-leaders in the Cannabis industry - we’re digging the foundation.

We’re early. We set a higher standard.
We self-regulate as we take the center stage.
An introduction to understanding the influence of cannabis advertising & promotions.
Cannabis legalization is a recent phenomenon with important benefits. We can box our approach to regulated categories and follow similar marketing paths of alcohol, tobacco, and electronic cigarette products. This may irk a few sensibilities, so let’s acknowledge that the cannabis industry is a dual role within the medical and recreational industries.

We’re in a future that was never planned - we struggle with a paucity of evidence to guide policy. This alone must foster a sense of unity within our community and address this complexity when developing our communication as a cannabis brand & marketer.

Today, Cannabis promotion is the subject of global health policy discourse amid jurisdictional legalization within the past decade.

Overtime, this guide aims to be a blueprint and resource for our mindful approach toward the cannabis discourse in the Americas and globally.
