Advertising That Actually Works

We built Cannabis Inquirer for the people who actually shape this industry. That's who sees your ad.

🎯

Targeted Audience

Our readers are decision-makers: dispensary owners, patients, policy advocates, and investors. Not casual browsers.

📰

Editorial Trust

We don't run sponsored content disguised as news. Every ad is clearly labeled, which means readers trust the editorial — and by extension, the advertisers.

📊

Legislative Tracker Sponsor

Be the only brand on the most-bookmarked cannabis policy page on the internet.

Ad Placements & Pricing

Common Questions

FAQ

Do you offer exclusive placements?

Yes — the Legislative Tracker sponsorship is always exclusive. Only one advertiser at a time, and we'll notify you of waitlist status when you inquire.

Can I target specific states or sections?

Yes. Newsletter sponsorships let you target by region and editorial beat — policy, industry, culture, or a specific state market.

How is ad performance reported?

You'll receive a monthly report with impression estimates, click-through data (where tracked), and newsletter open rates via Klaviyo.

What content can I advertise?

Cannabis-adjacent brands, hemp products, ancillary services, software, real estate, legal, and financial services serving the cannabis industry. No untested medical claims.
