Tik Tok and Weed Content or Cannabis Videos on Tik Tok
Tik Tok (https://www.tiktok.com/en/) is one of the, if not perhaps the, most popular social media
apps right now.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve already seen some of your friends’ Tik Tok videos of
people singing along to music videos.
The app, formerly Musical.ly, is a free platform that enables users to share video content of them
as they lip-sync to songs or even act out various comedy sketches. The videos are around 15
seconds long, and users have access to a massive database of songs as well as fun special e ects
to add on to it.
The app, created by Chinese entrepreneurs, was launched in 2017. Within the last few years, the
app has already garnered over half a billion users, eclipsing Snapchat and Twitter. If you remember
Vine, it works pretty much the same way.
But is there cannabis content to be found on Tik Tok?

It just might be the next hot platform for cannabis content. Let’s take a look.
Policy
Just like other social media platforms out there, Tik Tok requires users to be at least 13 years of
age to use it. Though the app has been rated as allowable for those aged 12 and above, there are
still some videos that contain suggestive themes, nudity, mild fantasy violence and – cannabis use.
So how does this happen?
Users can be allowed to place inappropriate words on the app through the use of hashtags. Users
can also link the Tik Tok account to their other social media pro les such as YouTube or Instagram.
Shared social network info, behavioral data, location, and some messages can also be collected by
Tik Tok.
There are some songs on the app’s database that contains explicit lyrics; this hasn’t stopped users
from turning to popular songs that have bad words or drug references on it. So if some songs
pertain to weed, it’s free to use as long as it’s on the Tik Tok database.
Content Rules
By default, all accounts on Tik Tok are public. Users will have to change their settings to enable
only friends to view their videos. But if you are planning to use the app to view or share your own
content, cannabis or otherwise, it’s important to rst understand their content rules.

Based on the Tik Tok website (https://www.tiktok.com/legal/terms-of-use?lang=en), all content that
has been uploaded on the app are intellectual property rights that are owned by the app. They
also explicitly state that they may pro t from the content that has been uploaded, and may use it
to generate revenue from advertising, promotions, and sponsorships among other things.
Additionally, the content rules also state that users grant Tik Tok a royalty-free license to use the
user name and content.
So, don’t be surprised (https://adage.com/article/digital/tiktok-users-are-surprised- nd-
themselves-ads-app/2204996) if you nd your videos being used in Tik Tok ads. You won’t get
credit and you won’t get paid.
There are all kinds of content to be found on Tik Tok, despite the age controls. This has some
parents worried as the app is so popular with kids these days, but for adults looking for some fun
cannabis content in on there, there’s a lot to discover.
Reality: Is There Cannabis Content On Tik Tok?
Yes, there is cannabis content to be found on Tik Tok. One of the most popular ones is users
singing along to Marijuana, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjSXAFBRBlY) the 2013 hit song of
Cheech and Chong. There are hundreds of thousands of uploads already on the app. There is also
a compilation of users (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o31Vc68bDmo) lip-syncing to this song.
A hashtag #hitsblunt, which became famous across Instagram and Twitter, also made its way to
the app. When you search for content using this hashtag, you’ll nd users sharing things they think
of while they are high, and some of the content out there is truly hilarious.
It isn’t all a good time, though – doctors have also started turning to Tik Tok
(https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/29/doctors-use-tiktok-to-talk-to-teens-about-vaping-birth-
control.html) as a means to reach a young audience to help educate them about pressing health
matters, such as the recent vaping crisis.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg: Tik Tok can also be a valuable marketing platform for cannabis
and CBD companies. Though it must be said that the app hasn’t been completely adopted by the
cannabis community just yet, it could be promising.

INTERVIEW
Would Bruce Linton Go Back to Canopy Growth if They Wanted Him Back?
Which has happened in Canada. Now, I asked you in Jamaica on a viral video that millions have seen, "Would you still want to be the
Canopy Growth CEO?" And you had kind of said yes. It was a moment in time with great people, with great energy. If Mr. Sands at
Constellation called you up or left a message with Olivia and said, "Bruce, I made a terrible mistake. Please have him call me,"…

Aaaah, the age-old question within the cannabis community of is vaping cannabis oil as effective and enjoyable as smoking
cannabis ower. This is not a new debate but a recent post on The Green Rush brought to light some great comments and ideas
for those arguing over which is better, vaping cannabis or smoking cannabis.
