…this group start advertising head shops and Grasscity? I thought any and all dr*g references were strictly prohibited.

Maybe a year or two back. I can't remember exactly but it was a discussed and debated topic. Nothing crazy, at least compared to normal social media stuff.

With the pool of e-cigarette advertisers rapidly drying up; alternative sources of income had to be found.

At least the lights are still on.

At one time, vaping was not to be associated with drug use. Then we discovered that the policy was merely posturing.

Nicotine vaping is bad, drug vaping is next to godliness. Ad serving companies will only allow drug vaping/smoking paraphernalia ads, but won't allow nicotine vaping ads (cigarette ads are forbidden by law as well).

I never see these ads because I use ad blockers.

When did this happen?

These ads were popping up for quite a while before I started this thread. At first, the moderators didn't know how to address the situation of e-cig advertizers also placing ads for their other wares. It was not long after that the whole teenage EVALI scandal hit where THC vapes were injuring a certain areas of kids and the press was directly blaming e-cigarettes.

Don't lose your wig, but there is a forum on here named on the subject.
