Got a new product that works with medical marijuana and was planning to advertise it on a facebook page, but Facebook's ad policy says no "promoting" illegal activities.

Anyone have experience getting around this? Or should I just bite the bullet and start advertising elsewhere?

use instagram, no one fucking uses facebook anymore, especially young people which will be your target
>>
>>2582221
Facebook owns instagram and the ads would have run on both insta and facebook.
>>
>>2582248
they have differnt ad policies, and you can just shill your account through other means that direct FB ads anyway
>>

>they have differnt ad policies
Alright I'll check this out and report back.
>>
>>2582374
Looks like Instagram has the same issue - won't approve ads that "promote" illegal activity, and even though we are selling in a legal state and we aren't even selling weed, we are unlikely to get approved.
>>
I am sure Facebook would be very pleased to show your Marijuana Ads to Grandmas that are Surfing Facebook...

LOL come on man...
>>
>>2582503
well, then use the way that everyone advertises on isntagram- either make a shill account and use SEO to popularize it or just pay random instagram whores with following to post pictures shilling your product
>>
>>2582533
Actually you can target facebook ads so that only people who have an interest in medical marijuana see it.
>>
>>2582540
That's probably what I'm going to have to do. I'm only selling in Washington right now (legal state) so I'm browsing for highly-followed weed users in Seattle right now.
>>
>>2582562
I see that but consider that Smoking Ads are banned... Are you sure it isn't some funny bullshit with that?
>>
>>2582605
Its something to do with FCC and DOJ - Facebook doesn't want to be considered "aiding and abetting" someone selling weed, which is still illegal federally. Even though we are only weed-related, they want nothing to do with that market.
>>
>>2582576
yeah, also, you probably dont have enough money to hire the successful whores with hundres of thousands of followers, for a new profuct, someone with a few thousands will be enough and not that expensive
>>
>>2582686
I'm hoping to find someone willing for about $300 and with ~1000-2000 followers. Figure that's a good amount for a startup.
>>
>>2582188
Medical marijuana is legal in most states, I think you'll be fine. Besides the whole point of medical is that you need a prescription, so you're in the clear.
>>
>>2582755
you are paying too much lad, people with 1k followers should shill your for like 50$ per pic
>>
>>2582778
Srsly? $50 to shill our product? Fuck me glad I haven't made any offers at $300 yet. Insta shills are new to me as far as marketing goes so any other tips feel free to tell me.
