Let’s be blunt. Trying to run digital campaigns for Cannabis businesses around all the restrictions and limited targeting categories has been a bit of a drag in the past. There are now a wealth of targeting options available that we offer, including Native Ads, Display Ads and Video Ads .

Do you want to reach people who are marijuana legalization advocates? What about people looking at both Leafly Reviews, and Weedmaps online or in apps? How about people searching general topics of marijuana? We have categories for that.

Another huge opportunity for targeting? Consumers interested in using Cannabis in place of over the counter or even prescriptions medicines for common ailments. Check out this Nielsen study showing just how interested!

We nowhave targeting categories to reach the exact audience you are looking for!Check out these options:
