More Act 2227 cannabis marjuana decriminalization digital dealers
Digital Dealers is a term we came up with on our Facebook Live show every Wednesday called “Square Groupers” that exposes online social media cannabis dealer profiles.

No MORE Digital Dealers in 2021?

Have you noticed a string of friend requests or follows on social media after you engage with any cannabis-related content accounts? As the House gets set to vote on the MORE Act “Digital Dealers” are aggressively in your inbox. Understanding that time could be running out.

Or is the tide finally coming in?

During EP3 of Square Groupers, we dedicated a whole show to informing and educating our viewers about these Digital Dealers and to not partake at all.

Last year when I began to publish cannabis content on Facebook and Instagram I had a new audience forming up as a result. Filled with profiles growing crops and pushing cannabis in your social media DM’s.

Slowly Instagram began to crack down on my posts last year, and story shares from my co-host The Cannabis Cowboy. It got to the point as soon as I shared his posts to my story I was immediately flagged and warned about banning my Instagram account.

Even though Instagram is owned by Facebook the block is not as hot there. Understanding that our page could vanish at any moment we must play by the book, unlike the pandemic Digital Dealers are currently.
