Denver’s KMGH- Channel 7 was scheduled to air the first cannabis-related commercial over U.S. airwaves Sun. July 19, but was derailed by the television station’s lawyers.

In a press release dispersed by The Green Solution, LLC, the company states:
“As of now, the network has decided to put a hold on airing ANY marijuana-related advertising, not based on content but rather principalities. The Green Solution respects the decision made by the television network.”
What would have been a huge first for the cannabis industry is unfortunately still a pipe dream. In the meantime, you can watch the commercial here.
