Posting weed content on social media is a challenge sometimes. We put a table together of cannabis friendly social media sites and media sharing communities that are cannabis themed or cannabis friendly. These are YouTube alternatives for cannabis focused content.
In recent years Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and others have relaxed their policies on cannabis as it gets legalized around the world. With this in mind, not all cannabis themed content is encouraged – sales related posts and content is typically shadow banned in exchange for educational content.
