Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Social media platform Twitter on Wednesday through its blog announced that is allowing advertisers to use their space to market cannabis.<\/p>\n

The changes by the company make it the first social media platform to allow cannabis adverts in the United States.<\/p>\n

According to the company\u2019s blog, the relaxation of its Cannabis ads policy will have some restrictions that vary depending on a country\u2019s laws and licensing.<\/p>\n

The policy is active in Canada and some states in the United States of America.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing forward, Twitter is allowing advertisers to promote brand preference and informational cannabis-related content for CBD, THC, and cannabis-related products and services,\u201d the blog read.<\/p>\n

Twitter noted that the cannabis industry has grown and through that so has the conversation of cannabis and related products increased on Twitter.<\/p>\n

The company added that conversations centred on cannabis have surpassed topics such as pets, cooking golf and food and beverage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cannabis space on Twitter is fun and engaging with users tweeting about their experiences using cannabis \u2013 whether medicinally, for wellness, or recreation \u2013 as well as recommending brands, products, and retail locations,\u201d the blog reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conversation also reflects where the cannabis industry is currently heading: legislative\/policy reform, business development, and community impact.\u201d<\/p>\n
