Twitter on Wednesday became the first social media platform to allow cannabis companies to market their brands and products in the United States.
The company had earlier only allowed advertising for hemp-derived CBD topical products, while other social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram and TikTok follow a "no cannabis advertising policy" as pot remains illegal at the federal level.
However, more states in the United States are moving towards allowing the sale of recreational cannabis, with 21 already on board. Twitter said it will permit cannabis companies to advertise, as long as they have proper license, pass through its approval process, only target jurisdictions where they are licensed to operate and most importantly, do not target people below 21 years.
"This is a pretty massive win for legal cannabis marketers," multistate cannabis and medical marijuana company Cresco Labs said.already launched a multistate campaign on the platform on Wednesday.
