About Cannabis News Network
Cannabis News Network is a Dutch YouTube channel covering cannabis news, policy, medical use and the hemp industry. Its videos are mostly news reports, event interviews and panel debates, and the channel has about 11,200 subscribers. Its last upload was in 2019, so it is effectively inactive. The channel's editor in chief, Steven Kompier, is described in the channel description as a full-time cannabis journalist.
The audience is estimated, not measured. It is likely skewed toward English speakers in Europe and North America who follow cannabis policy and the hemp and CBD trade. The channel's stated policy rules out advertising of any kind, so it is not a viable option for brand sponsorships. Brands wanting cannabis industry visibility should weigh the channel's inactivity and editorial stance before approaching it. Its rate is not applicable, and any comparison with paid CPM ($10 to $30 for paid ads) would be meaningless for this channel.

Questions about Cannabis
How much does Cannabis News Network charge for a sponsored video?
Cannabis News Network does not accept sponsored content. Its channel description states that no advertising of any sort is allowed. Rates therefore do not apply, and brands should not expect a paid integration.
What does Cannabis News Network post about on YouTube?
The channel posts cannabis news reports, interviews from industry events, and panel debates on hemp, CBD, medical cannabis and drug policy. Most videos are between four and eight minutes long and focus on Europe, though some cover the United States and international policy.
How do I contact Cannabis News Network for a brand deal?
The channel lists editorial contacts in its description. Contact details unlock on Starbooked for $0.80. Because the channel bars advertising, a brand deal is unlikely to be accepted, and boosted creators can be booked through Starbooked only if they are available.
