In a First, Twitter to soon allow cannabis ads in U.S.

Twitter on Wednesday said that it will soon allow cannabis ads on its platform in the U.S., becoming the first social media platform to do so. Notably, other popular social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram and TikTok pursue a “no cannabis advertising policy” since pot remains legally banned in the most U.S. states. However, over the years more and more U.S. states have given nod to the sale of recreational cannabis and till now 21 U.S. states have given a green signal. Twitter’s decision to allow cannabis ads on its platform will come as a big boost to the cannabis industry. The microblogging platform said it will permit cannabis companies to advertise as long as they fulfil all the important criteria including having proper license and not targeting people below the age of 21 years.
