Advertising policy

The policies and principles behind The Cannabis Community.

Last updated: September 30, 2026

The Cannabis Community is operated by AV Social Strategies. Advertising, sponsorships, affiliate relationships and merchandise help support our publishing and community work. This policy explains how those relationships are presented.

How TCC earns revenue

We may receive payment for advertisements, sponsored articles, newsletters, videos, events and other placements, or commissions when readers use qualifying partner links. We also sell TCC merchandise through our Shopify store.

Paid placement may affect the visibility or order of featured businesses, products and services. A featured listing is not a quality certification. Our coverage and directory do not include every available business or offer.

Recognizing paid content

Sponsored placements must use clear labels such as “Advertisement” or “Sponsored.” Content involving a commission, free product or another material benefit must disclose that relationship near the recommendation or link. A disclosure on this page alone does not replace a disclosure where the recommendation appears.

Read our affiliate disclosure for more about qualifying links and partner offers.

Editorial standards

Payment does not buy a guaranteed favorable review. Editorial work should distinguish reporting, opinion and paid promotion, identify relevant commercial relationships, and correct material errors. Advertisers may provide information about their own products; TCC retains control of editorial decisions.

Our standards are a commitment to review and correction, not a promise that every historical article is current. Check publication dates and verify time-sensitive information before relying on it.

Requirements for advertisers

Advertisers must have the rights to submitted material and provide accurate, supportable claims. Ads must comply with applicable law, age and geographic restrictions, and relevant platform rules. We do not accept deceptive claims, fabricated reviews, misleading health guarantees, or promotion of unlawful transactions.

TCC may reject, pause or remove material that conflicts with these standards. Placement, pricing, cancellation and deliverables are governed by the applicable advertising agreement.

Third-party products and services

An advertisement or listing does not guarantee a provider’s licensing, safety, availability or results. Confirm eligibility, price, terms and qualifications directly with the provider. Third-party merchants handle their own orders, services, billing, support and refunds. TCC merchandise purchases follow the policies shown in our store.

Website content is general information and does not replace advice from a qualified medical, legal or financial professional.

Privacy and advertising choices

Advertising and measurement services may process device and browsing information. See our privacy policy and use the Cookie Preferences control to review available choices.

Questions or concerns

To report an unclear disclosure, inaccurate advertisement or sponsorship concern, email social@thecannabiscommunity.org or contact the team. Include the page URL and the specific concern.
