***Colorado Gummy Bears Days Numbered : Stop making and buying Gummy Bears
Anti-Prohibitionist propaganda are using “Pot Tarts” and “Gummy Bears” against us. Consider using shapes such as squares, diamonds, and other items that do not appeal to children. By selling cannabis gummy bears, we are giving our opponents the ammunition they need to oppose Question 2.
“I’m getting calls now from people who voted for legalization thinking it wouldn’t affect them,” says Kevin Sabet, co-founder of national antimarijuana legalization group Smart Approaches to Marijuana. “They’re surprised to see these are sophisticated businesses opening up next to their schools selling things like marijuana gummy bears. And they’re angry.” - Quote from Fortune Magazine article : Has Pot Lost Its Buzz in Colorado?

Kevin Sabet Media Misinformation : Dispensaries Ran By Heroin Dealers
"With these initiatives, the devil is in the details," continued Sabet. "We're going to help states understand that Big Pot does not have community interests in mind when they write initiatives that allow convicted heroin dealers to run pot shops or when they allow for unfettered access and advertising of pot candies." Today's pot is six to ten times as strong as the weed smoked at Woodstock, and in concentrate form (used to make pot candy and other edibles) it can be as much as 98 percent pure. In addition, a mounting volume of scientific evidence links pot use to mental health problems like schizophrenia and psychosis. Moreover, legalization rolls out the red carpet for a massive commercial industry that would target and addict the young, the poor, and communities of color. In Colorado alone, Black and Latino youth pot arrests have increased since legalization, and pot shops are concentrated in poorer communities. "We owe it to future generations to stop 'Big Tobacco 2.0'," concluded Sabet.

***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.
