For Mainstream Brands

Reach the Cannabis Consumer.

The cannabis consumer is affluent, loyal, and almost impossible to target through Google or social, and they're exactly who QSR, food delivery, alcohol, and entertainment brands want to reach. JointCommerce gives mainstream advertisers compliant, verified access to real A21+ cannabis shoppers across display, video, Connected TV, and digital out-of-home.

The Audience

What is the cannabis consumer audience?

The cannabis consumer audience is a verified group of A21+ adults who actively shop for cannabis, and they are among the most valuable, hardest-to-reach consumers in advertising. They skew affluent, are highly brand-loyal, and over-index on streaming, Connected TV, and mobile. Because major ad platforms restrict cannabis-adjacent targeting, this audience is difficult to isolate on Google and social. JointCommerce models it from our own age-verified monthly active cannabis shoppers (real people, not inferred lists) and lets mainstream brands reach them compliantly across display, online video, CTV, digital out-of-home, and audio.

Why the Cannabis Consumer

A High-Value Audience, Locked Behind Compliance.

Loyal

High Frequency & Repeat

Habitual, brand-loyal buyers who reward the brands that show up in the right moments.

FAQ

Advertising to Cannabis Consumers, Answered.

The essentials for mainstream brands evaluating how to reach the verified A21+ cannabis audience compliantly.

Can mainstream (non-cannabis) brands advertise to cannabis consumers?

Yes. Brands such as QSR, food delivery, alcohol, entertainment, gaming, CPG, and travel can advertise to verified A21+ cannabis consumers through JointCommerce. Your brand does not need to be a cannabis company, we activate our own age-verified audience across premium, brand-safe inventory.

Is advertising to cannabis consumers legal and compliant?

Yes. Campaigns run on mainstream, brand-safe publishers and networks using first-party, consent-based data that is GDPR and CCPA compliant. Every profile and household is age-verified A21+, so ads never serve to anyone under legal age, on any screen.

How does JointCommerce verify the audience is 21 or older?

The audience is modeled from our own A21+ monthly active users (real, age-verified cannabis shoppers) and matched by mobile device ID and IP. On Connected TV, targeting is verified at the household level, so media reaches only age-appropriate homes.

Which brand categories perform best with cannabis consumers?

Categories with strong documented affinity include QSR and fast food, food delivery, alcohol and beverage (including the cali-sober and RTD crossover), entertainment and streaming, music and live events, gaming, CPG and snacks, and travel and hospitality.

What advertising channels can I use to reach cannabis consumers?

We activate the same verified A21+ audience across programmatic display and native, online video and Connected TV (CTV), digital out-of-home (DOOH), and audio and podcast, all in one managed buy with closed-loop measurement.

How is campaign performance measured?

Closed-loop reporting and lift measurement tie ad spend to real outcomes rather than impressions alone, with geo and lifestyle targeting down to the ZIP code.

Why are cannabis consumers hard to reach on Google and social?
