Newsweed.com can become a very powerful voice in news, and here is why. Is news today meant to inform or to persuade? Or is it simply a fact that if you want to change people's minds, you change the information you give them? That is the issue with news today: it has become the business of pushing the masses in one direction or another.
We hope the strong minds of the weed audience will demand broad perspectives, so they can move the news in the right direction. Major media companies should take a hard look at this powerful demographic and bring Newsweed.com to the next level. We are considering carefully who to sell to or partner with, because the weed audience is growing into one of the largest and most diverse audiences in the world.

And that 256 million is only the core. It doesn't count the people who used to use, the people weighing whether to start, or the much larger circle who will never touch it but think about it every time it comes up at work, at the dinner table, or on a ballot. Add all four groups together and this isn't a niche audience — it's a majority conversation happening in nearly every country with almost no dedicated newsroom covering it honestly.
Current users — the core, most engaged readership. Directly affected by every law, product, and price change.
Still culturally and socially invested. They read the news to track how far the world has moved since they stepped away.
Weighing legality, health, and stigma. The most persuadable audience in media — and the most valuable for advertisers.
Parents, employers, voters, neighbors. They don't use it, but they think about it constantly. The largest group of all.
He who speaks to the cannabis audience with respect controls the outcome — politically, economically, socially, and in fashion and the arts.
Every headline nudges these four groups a little further — toward a law, a stock, a stigma lifted or reinforced. That's not a slogan; it's the reason this beat is worth owning rather than ignoring, and why a credible, respectful voice in this space carries real influence — and real value. At $900,000, Newsweed is priced for exactly that: a domain, a brand, and a running Substack audience positioned ahead of a wave most of the media is still pretending not to see.
Something happening in your state or country that the majors are ignoring? Send it in one line. Court rulings, licensing fights, raids, research, business moves, culture — we read everything that comes in.
Newsweed is building a roster of working journalists across every market where this beat matters — statehouses, courtrooms, trade shows, and the streets. Worldwide, not just American.
Tell us your beat and where you are. As assignments and budget come online, we work down this list. This is a roster, not a job offer — but nothing gets assigned to anyone who isn't on it.
Join readers who want real news without pretending a few hundred million people don't exist.
