Google likes pot more than Facebook
It is hard--living in Northern California--to bump into someone under the age of 82 who doesn't smoke pot.
It seems as if it is, in all but lawyer's paperwork, legal.
It seems, though, that making advertisements to encourage the completion of that paperwork is causing something of a smoky atmosphere to develop between lobbying groups and Facebook.
According to the Huffington Post, Facebook first approved ads created by lobbying organization Just Say Now and the Libertarian Party, then removed them.
In the case of Just Say Now, Facebook reportedly said it didn't allow pictures of drugs in ads. The Libertarian Party, on the other hand, says it was told by Facebook: "We do not allow ads for marijuana or political ads for the promotion of marijuana."
