Make Money from Legal Cannabis: Affiliate Programs and Resources

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

With hemp, CBD and other cannabis products becoming legal, it’s a great time to get your foot in the door. The legal weed & CBD industry is going to be a major cash cow for decades to come.

It’s exciting to be apart of the ground floor. One way to do so, without much investment, is by affiliate marketing. This is where you promote other people’s projects & services and receive a commission.
