// industry supporters · the public wall
Here’s a very Canadian situation: the same regulations that keep cannabis marketing honest also limit how loudly a cannabis company can be thanked in public. We think that’s worth explaining rather than dodging — so this page does both.
Cannabis promotion rules restrict displaying licensed producers’ brand elements in sponsorship contexts out here in the open web, where anyone of any age can wander by. We play inside those lines, happily — they’re part of what makes the legal market worth defending.
So the public version of our gratitude reads like this: platform supporters exist, they fund the lights and never the verdict, and every dollar is disclosed by category in the open ledger. Named, brand-element thank-yous for cannabis companies live where the law provides for them — behind the 19+ members’ door.
Supporters outside the licensed-cannabis world — the makers, trades, and services that keep this machine running — get named right here, in the open, as loudly as we like.
— this space reserved —Early has its advantages. Ask the hat people.
Members fund the bench. Industry funds the platform. Nobody funds the verdict. Sponsorship buys operations — studio, field kit, education, reporting time — and zero editorial influence, contractually and publicly. Every review discloses its funding. The steering wheel is not for sale; the receipts are.
