***Vegas Cannabis Magazine, Elevate, & WECAN - Please Purchase Advertisement And Support Cannabis Media
Please support cannabis magazines with your advertising dollars.  They are  instrumental in the Nevada marijuana community by informing patients, future patients, and out of town guests who are cannabis patients.  They also normalize cannabis consumption for the Nevada community and the world.   It is going to take a good 6 months of continued advertisement for your brand to really resonate with consumers. Each magazine allows you to reach a different segment of cannabis consumers, so I advise that you advertise in both and WECAN.  
Please contact me if you would like to advertise in Vegas Cannabis Magazine or Elevate.  Rate sheets are below:
