Reddit Defies Corporate Conde Nast And Runs Marijuana Ads For Free

by | 28th, August 2010

FACEBOOK bans adds for marijuana legislation and then Reddit, the internet bookmarking site owned by Conde Nast is told to stop running adverts supporting California’s ballot on making weed legal in the state.

Reddit is told to stop taking money for the ads. Marijuana does not fit with Conde Nast’s agenda.

As a corporation, Conde Nast does not want to benefit financially from this particular issue.”

So. Reddit rebels and runs the ads for free.

Meanwhile, the most popular story in Vanity Fair website (owners… Conde Nast) is:

Mary-Louise Parker Does Not Smoke Weed, but She Has Licked a Pot Lollipop

So. A story on weed can attract readers and thus eyeballs for those lovely adverts.

Marijuana is a big news story. It will not go away. Anorak will cover the matter in the news. Medical marijuana is of benefit to many people. The drug should be legalised.
