Somethings are better to remain/become a cottage industry.
This is one. While these prototypes would fit what I imagine the packaging a cottage industry cannabis operation would produce, if there were the impetus to move the product out of its current packaging, I shudder to think what the marketers for the likes of mass-produced/consumed beers would come up with.
Also, I imagine the cognitive dissonance of the anti-drug commercials, like the one with pot smokers hitting the child on a bike while pulling away from a drive-thru window contrasted with commercials touting the virtues and benefits of legal pot would be too much for some to handle.
So for these reasons, and others -

- philwelch 17y agoIt's illegal to advertise tobacco on television, and hard liquor is never advertised either out of social norms. Also, open and legal production of cannabis would improve quality and variety while open and legal distribution would help too. Whenever I go grocery shopping, there are the mass-produced cheap beers, but there are also good imports and microbrews. The wine aisle has even greater variety. Why would weed be different?

These are all off-the-top of my head examples of commercials I've seen on TV... maybe you meant broadcast vs cable television? Or are you outside of the US? (I assumed you were in the USA b/c of the no cigarette commercials comment... I think that's only in the US...)
