Cannabis Social Networks with Kannatopia

420-Friendly Social Networks

From deleting pages with hundreds and thousands of followers to picking and choosing what analytics cannabis brands are allowed to access – it’s clear social media isn’t a fan of cannabis. It’s obvious consumers want a space to connect, whether it’s in person with cannabis social groups, dating apps, or online. This week Tom and Miggy sat down with Kurt Akers, Co-Founder and CEO of Kannatopia.com, to discuss the hoops cannabis consumers and brands have to jump through to connect with like-minded people on social media.

Tons of cannabis businesses and brands always get shut down on Facebook or have content deleted of YouTube or Instagram accounts deleted. – Kurt Akers
