Although Cannabis has been LEGALIZED in multiple states, Social Media Platforms such as INSTAGRAM has not been so kind to Cannabis companies. It is common in the Legal Cannabis industry for Instagram to Censor and lock out accounts.
Legal retailers are often locked out for “violating” Instagram community guidelines.
Here at Moe Weed LLC, a legal Cannabis shop with a store front, created Multiple instagram Business ( Moe_Weed, Moe_weed2 and Moe_Weed_CBD) Our last account Moe_weed2 Peaked at 8,000+ Followers before instagram shut us down.
Instagram Algorithms and Crappy Customer Service Support Deactivated my account on Multiple occasion and was reactivated with an automated Apology Letter from Instagram.
For a large Social Media Platform to Discriminate against LEGAL business such as Cannabis shops can take a HUGE toll on a companies Finances and leave many angry and upset customers.
When my Legal business page was taken down, I was unable to contact my Followers/Customers who ordered simple merchandise items such as Face-masks and t-shirts. Replacing my New instagram On all of my Custom design Company Cars and on my business cards was extremely costly.
We are now taking different approach to connect to our customers as Social Media Giants are not Pro Cannabis as we may think.
