HerbAdvisors.com targets recreational and medical marijuana consumers with entertaining and educational video.
The 2016 election was a clear tipping point for the marijuana industry. With twenty percent of the U.S. now legally allowing “adult” consumption and over half of the states allowing medicinal use, HerbAdvisors is happy to announce the launch of their new marijuana education and lifestyle website aimed straight at the pop consumer.
“We’re a website treating marijuana like it’s already mainstream. Think The Today Show meets Rolling Stone, for the cannabis community,” says Scott Elnes, HerbAdvisors Founder and CEO.
The site features a lineup of hosted video shows including Cooking with Cannabis, Herb As Medicine, and Homegrown, which Elnes calls a “DIY show for budding home marijuana growers. Homegrown is hosted by legendary Northwest comedic actor Pat Cashman of Almost Live fame.
HerbAdvisors originally launched in 2015 with a bare-bones template and a handful of marijuana strain review videos. While not blown away by the site, its concept did manage to catch the attention of Dashiel Pare-Mayer, one of the first Senior Web Developers at GoPro. Pare-Mayer, who came on as an equity co-founder, completely overhauled the offering. HerbAdvisors now boasts close to a half-million dollars in content, mostly video-based, along with a staff of bloggers .
“As a former TV meteorologist and Xbox Producer, I was convinced that video is the future of the internet. HerbAdvisors is uniquely qualified to produce high-quality, entertaining yet informative content recreational and medical marijuana consumers are looking for.” said Elnes.
HerbAdvisors.com plans to release fresh content daily, from strain reviews to Intro To Herb segments to educate both new and long-time users of weed. (View a sample video at https://youtu.be/t6cC-kClorU.)
“I’ve been consuming marijuana for 30 years,” Elnes points out, “but it was always underground. Until fairly recently, even a veteran consumer like me didn’t know there were two main types of marijuana, and they affect you very differently. The more affluent, discriminating marijuana consumer is quickly emerging from the shadows, and they want to be informed consumers.”
