About America’s Cannabis Conversation Radio Show
We would like to take a moment and tell you why we created this network, and show. Our mission is to educate as many people as possible about real-time developments in the cannabis industry. Most people don’t know that, historically, you as an owner or operator are forbidden by Federal Statutes to advertise on traditional terrestrial radio and TV. As a result, your opportunities to reach the masses, and to be heard are completely limited.
After a great deal of research and development, W420 Radio Network found a way for your business to have a voice. You can inform the public why you are enthusiastic, and devoted to the industry. Shows are informative, relevant, entertaining, and quick-paced. We bring on air: industry leaders, elected officials, law makers, medical professionals, local experts, industry experts, dispensary owners, growers, operators, investors and more.
