Radio Gone To Pot?

I was a little taken aback when a couple of day ago I heard for the first time, a commercial that referenced cannabis. It is for Indeed and the scenario is a cannabis store owner needing staff. I wasn’t initially paying attention until I could have sworn I heard the word “indica”, I was right! Anyways, just think that it’s interesting that after seven years or so after legalizing it, this is the first time I’ve heard a commercial referring to it!

Well that's a neat loophole - I don't think cannabis shops can advertise directly (similar to tobacco).

Tobacconists everywhere exclaim: "Why didn't I think of that?".

Are you able to recall the station that ran the ad?

I heard it on CFRB 1010 and also on AM740,  both in Toronto, starting Wednesday May 14th.

Which makes the "we need staff" loophole even funnier.
