Cannabis Affiliate Programs and Ad Networks (Big List)

This is a growing list of affiliate programs and advertising networks with cannabis-related goods and services. If you publish a website or have a social media following and are looking for an extra income, I think you will find this page useful.

Below you’ll find our round-up of the most well-known cannabis-related affiliate programs and networks. Affiliate programs are like referral programs; you get paid a percentage (or sometimes a flat-rate) of sales referred to a merchant.

Advertising and Affiliate Networks with Cannabis Merchants

Affiliate Networks connect advertisers with affiliates (publishers, content creators, influencers, etc.). These networks give affiliates access to a huge range of products and services. Here are the ad networks with the best reputation and offers in the cannabis niche.

ShareASale Advertising Network

Shareasale.com – Shareasale is the longest running and most reputable affiliate network that supports legitimate cannabis-related merchants.

If you don’t already have an affiliate account with Shareasale, you’ll need to sign for one before you can access the affiliate programs for these merchants:

• Avid Hemp – High converting brand with great affiliate management. Pays 30% commissions on their CBD gummies, vape juice, oil, topicals and more. Datafeed available. Wholesale also available. Sign up form here.
• Diamond CBD – Huge catalog with celebrity brands like Tommy Chong and Lawrence Taylor. Over 1000 products. Two tier commissions.
• GreenGoddessSupply – Popular smoke shop with wide range of merchandise including glass, grinders, vapes and various bundles (great gift ideas). The commission is 10-18% depending on volume.
• …and dozens more.

And if you are a merchant, and looking to reach a wider base of publishers and affiliates – you should check out Shareasale’s merchant services.

CannAffiliate Network

CannAffiliate is a cannabis-only affiliate network driving online sales to dispensaries, CBD brands and other cannabis products and services including:

• Dr. Dabber – High-end vaporizers. 10% commission on sales. Well-known brand worth looking at.
• Jaxon Hemp – Bulk CBD flower. Not a household name, but I’ve had luck promoting them (and they pay.)

Is CannAffiliate trustworthy? Yes, seems so. I recieved a payment for 2-tier affiliate referral sales in May 2022. Glad to add them to my recommended cannabis affiliate networks!

RevOffers Performance Marketing Network

RevOffers have only been around for a few years, but their focus is on CBD and cannabis-ancillary products, so worth checking out. A few example merchants:

• Extract Labs – Pays 20% commission. CO2 extracted. Full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and isolate forms including CBG and other minor cannabinoids.
• Petly CBD – Pays 30% commission. CBD dog treats and other pet products.

Note: I am still new to this RevOffers, will report updates later this year.

Impact Affiliate Network

Impact was slow to jump on the cannabis bandwagon, but now have growing roster of CBD and cannabis-accessory merchants available for affiliates to promote such as:

• Daily High Club – Subscription boxes for marijuana enthusiasts. Very popular, innovative company; worth checking out. Pays 7%. Deep-linking & promo codes available.
• Vapor.com – Vapes, Dab Pipes, Volcanoes, etc. Huge site with large selection. API product datafeeds, deeplinks & other tools for publishers.

Some of the biggest brands in the world use Impact because they are tracking pros & very reliable. I’ve been using them for many years.

CJ Affiliate Network

CJ.com has a few dozen CBD and vaping merchants including:

• AirVape USA – 15% commission on sales. Wholesale and dropshipping available.
• JustCBD – CBD gummies, bath bombs, protein bars, isolate and other unique items like CBD honey sticks and infused coconut oil. 18% commission

If you aren’t already a CJ affiliate, it’s worth signing up as they are one of the biggest & oldest networks around.

CBDAffs Affiliate Network

CBDAffs – This new network is focused solely on CBD brands and products. They have about 50 offers from US & international online CBD stores to promote, like Tommy Chong’s gummies. Also offer 5% of tiered referrals.

Note: I’ve yet to make any sales or paid for affiliate referrals from CBDAffs, so I’m unable to vouch for their legitimacy.

Online Dispensary & Delivery Affiliate Programs

Buying cannabis online is likely to be a growing industry for months and years to come. Here are online dispensaries with affiliate programs:

Speed Greens (Canada)

Speedgreens.co – Large selection from bargain to top-shelf flower and extracts. Fast shipping within Canada. Pays 10% commission on sales. Managed in-house. Conversion not great so far (but have made some sales, not enough for payout). I do not know if they are legit — please comment if you have experience with Speedgreens as a customer or affiliate!

SupHerbs (Canada)

Cannabismo (Canada)

Cannabismo – Is a Canada-only online dispensary with free shipping and large selection of flower, shatter and just about anything else. Cannabismo Warning: they have changed affiliate programs multiple times in the past year, and while they have paid for some sales — they don’t seem reliable in my experience (hey Cannabismo — get in touch, and prove me wrong!)

Please be aware that many online dispensaries are currently operating in the grey market. Some are operating quasi-legally (or completely illegally), and can get shut down without paying their affiliates.

How Do Cannabis Affiliate Programs Work?

There are many cannabis-related business opportunities to consider, and one without much investment, is affiliate marketing. This is where you promote other businesses’ products & services and receive a commission.

Merchants provide marketers with tools (like affiliate links, datafeeds, and coupons) to help promote their products. Marketers in turn receive commissions for successful customer referrals, generally a percentage of each sale.

The simplest way to get started as an affiliate is to find merchants with products that suit your audience and add the links to your site. Networks like Shareasale and Impact are good places to start your search.
