Facebook Censors Marijuana Posts about Law Reform
Tom and Miggy had a discussion with former pot lifer Craig Cesal. This video had no on-camera consumption or other things that could be deemed illegal, it was a plain conversation that has been deleted against Facebook standards.
Was it the call to action to help others or to the harsh truth about the American judicial system?
Facebook has been censoring marijuana posts about law reform, even when they are not promoting the sale or use of the plant. This is a clear violation of free speech rights, and it needs to be stopped.
Marijuana is now legal in a number of states, and there is growing momentum for reform at the federal level. It is time for Facebook to catch up with the times and stop censoring cannabis-related content.

In June of last year, Facebook censored an ad promoting a panel discussion on cannabis legalization in Montreal. The ad was eventually allowed to run after organizers found a way to refer to “legalization” without specifying what was being legalized.
Now, it appears that Facebook is considering relaxing its policy on cannabis-related content. However, it is still censoring posts that mention marijuana reform. This needs to change.
Marijuana is a topic of growing public interest, and Facebook should not be censorship content about it. Join the chorus of voices calling for an end to this injustice.
