If you want to introduce
your business to North American and International Cannabis Culture, then
there’s no better place to advertise than Cannabis Canada Magazine!

    Cannabis Canada is the
world’s fastest-growing magazine on marijuana and hemp! From our humble
beginnings as a black and white newsletter four years ago, we now have
an astounding 100,000 readers of our glossy, full-colour magazine, plus
literally hundreds of thousands of regular visitors to our sprawling website.

    Cannabis Canada has
been steadily increasing in prominence since its inception. We have been
quoted and reviewed in a number of newspapers across Canada and the US,
including the Wall Street Journal, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star,
the Vancouver Sun, the Ottawa Citizen, the San Jose Mercury, and many others.
We have even received mention on CNN!

    Cannabis Canada carries
only the most cutting edge information on all aspects of marijuana and
hemp, including the best grow tips, the freshest legal updates, the most
astounding bud shots, the most current and accurate coverage of Canada’s
exploding hemp industry, and a myriad of ways for our readers to do their
bit to help end the war on all aspects of cannabis.

    Cannabis Canada also
pushes the limit to support cannabis reform and challenge the status-quo
in fun and exciting ways. For example, we strive to include a hemp-paper
section in every issue, as well as inserted cards which can be mailed free
of charge to appropriate politicians. Also, the grand-prize winner of our
legendary “Cannabis Crossword” receives a big bag of fantastic BC bud delivered
right to his door!

International Audience and Web
Presence

    Cannabis Canada is now
available coast-to-coast throughout both Canada and the US. Our magazine
continues to expand in scope and reach a wider international audience.
Canada is in many ways a world leader in both the marijuana and hemp movements,
and so we have a found a strong interest in Canadian news from cannabis
connoisseurs around the globe.

    Cannabis Canada reaches
about 2000 international readers, in countries as varied as Israel, Japan,
Russia, all parts of Europe and Australia, and pretty much everywhere else
on earth. This figure however, is dwarfed by the astronomical numbers of
visitors to our massive website at http://www.cannabiscanada.com”>http://www.cannabiscanada.com”>http://www.cannabiscanada.com.

    All advertisers in Cannabis
Canada receive a free listing in our on-line Cannabis Classifieds directory,
exposing your business to countless numbers of consumers from around the
world. (We are also able to provide a more substantial web presence, such
as banner ads and site-hosting, for a low additional cost. Please ask us
about this if you are interested in quickly and easily exposing your business
to even greater masses of web-savvy high-end cannabis enthusiasts)

Seeds Grow Business!

    One unique feature of
our magazine is actually an ad in itself. Our prominent ads for marijuana
seeds are a special aspect of Cannabis Canada which makes it uniquely and
especially popular among all growers of marijuana. The thousands of people
who spend large amounts of money on mail-order seeds they saw in CC are
more than likely to also order other products they see advertised in the
same magazine. (They will also likely have more extra money to spend once
they have harvested their

lucrative crop.)

    Because we are a proactive
magazine and we encourage reader participation, we have a very devoted
and loyal audience, as well as a rapidly expanding subscriber base. Subscribers
are a valuable advertising resource since they have obviously already shown
their interest and willingness to invest in mail-order cannabis culture.

    Cannabis Canada’s readership
continues to expand and diversify.   The current newstand distribution
is approximately 55% Canadian, 43% United States and 2% international. 
With a wide range of topics, Cannabis Canada is an important source of
up-to-date information for the hemp fabric industry, as well as for lawyers,
doctors, politicians, historians, naturopaths, herbalists, activists, religious
experts, and plain old recreational smokers.  Domestic and International,
serious and fun, popular and unique — Cannabis Canada is a magazine for
anyone who has an interest related to marijuana or hemp.

    Curently, our distribution
is 30,000 issues and increasing daily.  We are now glossy, full colour,
and bi-monthly.  Also with increasing hemp pages.  Our next issue
April/May 1998, issue #12 will include sixteen pages of hemp paper. 
Reach out to the emerging cannabis culture around the world with affordable,
targeted advertising in Cannabis Canada Magazine.

    Our distribution and
subscriptions are increasing rapidly and will continue to grow.  This
