The Cannabis Influence on Social Media

Odds are, you spend a substantial chunk of time every day scrolling through your social media feeds. The numbers don’t lie – more than three billion people* are logging on to social media worldwide, putting you in good company as you hit those “Like” and “Share” buttons.

Considering the pivotal role of social media in our daily lives, it’s not surprising that the most popular platforms are many people’s go-to source for the latest in trending topics and breaking news. One of the latest waves of content to sweep the world of social media is cannabis, with efforts headed by canna-businesses and advocates, and influencers alike. Interestingly, it seems like the social media giants weren’t quite ready for the level of passion that tends to run deep in the cannabis community. As it turns out, cannabis has shaped up to be quite the influencer when it comes to the age of social media.

From social media cannabis educators and trendy influencers to global brands sharing valuable knowledge, there’s no doubt that cannabis has made a significant impression on social media. We’re taking a look at how to find great cannabis content on social media – and even share some yourself – and make your feed a little greener.

How to Share the Cannabis Love Without Getting Flagged

Whether your network of choice is Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, cannabis content can be tricky territory to navigate. Keep these tips in mind, and you can share your Canna Provisions passion without a flagged account ruining the fun:

    • Check the platform’s specific posting rules and guidelines, so you can be confident that your content is within bounds.
    • If your favorite brand posts something you love, it’s as easy as clicking “share” or “repost” to show your followers what you’re all about.
