Cannabis Health and Cannabis Wealth – building Europe’s biggest and most engaged cannabis audience
2
Cannabis Health online The leading digital resource for all things medical and wellbeing cannabis. Cannabis Health online has a highly engaged and targeted global audience and social following. Our team of journalists produce quality content daily, working closely with sponsors to overcome their marketing challenges and achieve their sales goals. Everything we do is driven by decades of journalism experience and an adoption of the very latest digital tools and knowledge to ensure content hits the right people at the right time.
Cannabis Health in print The UK’s only cannabis print title for patients, consumers, clinicians and professionals. This is an essential, trusted resource which reports on cannabis medicine and wellbeing issues, bringing together patient stories, research and clinical insights. It is unique in the UK – as neither a B2B cannabis trade title or a ‘stoner’ lifestyle magazine. This is a glossy, public-facing magazine written for anyone with an interest in the potential health and wellbeing benefits of cannabis products. Readers include those who wish to take charge of their treatment choices – and the healthcare professionals who may help them do so.
WELCOME
A journalist-led portfolio backed by leading experts Our editorial panel includes:
Hannah Deacon, who successfully campaigned to enable her epileptic son Alfie Dingley to legally receive cannabis medicine. Today she continues to campaign to help more families access medicinal cannabis in the UK.
Professor Mike Barnes, who obtained the first medicinal cannabis licences in the UK in 2018 and has been involved in efforts to assist many others in acccessing medical cannabis since. He is the founder of the Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society.
The Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society, a community of medical cannabis pioneers, including some of the first prescribers of this treatment in the UK. The society supports us with editorial advice, ideas and access to events and members.
Cannabis Wealth Our flagship B2B title covering cannabis entrepreneurship, investment and business from every angle. Cannabis Wealth is the cannabis industry’s answer to Forbes magazine. UK-based with a global outlook, we report on the people, businesses and trends driving growth in cannabis markets in Europe and beyond. Cannabis Wealth is backed by journalists with years of newspaper business desk experience. It is driven by a desire to give cannabis professionals a world class B2B platform that informs decisions, opens up opportunities and builds networks.
The Cannabis Health podcast Driving Britain and Europe’s cannabis conversation via the ‘What’s Your Why?’ podcast. Series one of the Cannabis Health podcast, titled ‘What’s your Why’, featured interviews with some of the most prominent people in Europe’s cannabis medicine space. Series two, coming soon, will be bigger and better – with lots of opportunities for advertisers to align their messages with leading voices and hot topics.

Cannabis Health and Cannabis Wealth Giving you access to the full spectrum of cannabis readers

When we launched Cannabis Health in 2019, our aim was to tell the story of everyone involved in the UK’s developing relationship with cannabis medicine and CBD.
Having successfully established Cannabis Health as the UK’s leading and most credible public-leaning cannabis title, we are now enhancing our B2B coverage. Cannabis Wealth is our new platform covering cannabis entrepreneurialism, investment and business news in Europe and further afield. By aligning these two titles - Cannabis Health and Cannabis Wealth – we can now offer advertisers access to the entire spectrum of cannabis market readers. This gives you compelling and unrivalled content marketing reach to the people that matter to your business. If you’re a fast-growing CBD retailer, our expert lifestyle writers can get consumers excited about your products on Cannabis Health in innovative ways. At the same time, however, why not develop your supply chain, access investors and overcome recruitment challenges via Cannabis Wealth? Perhaps your business operates in the medical cannabis space. Your case studies and research news will be of great interest to Cannabis Health’s patient-families and academic readers. But perhaps you’re also looking to build relationships with clinical directors, would-be shareholders or professional services. A CEO profile on Cannabis Wealth, or a podcast interview, could give you credible and respected exposure to people that matter. Our portfolio offers invaluable access to full range of cannabis readers. All content is shared with a highly engaged social media following.

By combining digital, print, visual and content-based opportunities, many of our clients choose to access our audience via a bespoke package. Others choose only individual items as listed below in one publication or spanning both platforms. Our friendly commercial team would be delighted to discuss your requirements and provide you with a tailored package within your budget. All sponsored articles are shared on our social media channels, and followed up with a transparent readership stats report. Our expert editorial team will also support you in producing quality content which generates your desired outcome.
Topic banner sponsorship Every week we cover key topics - for example, fibromyalgia, CBD in sport, sleep, anxiety, medical cannabis research. As a topic sponsor, every time we cover your topic, your banner is embedded within the story with a link to your site. You will also receive a banner on the parent page of that topic (for example news/CBDwellness). This provides brand awareness, an influx of online customers and association to your topic without any breaching of advertising rules. As a topic sponsor your banner will appear in one story per week for a 12 month period. You will have full exclusivity meaning you would be the only brand showcasing your products and services to an already engaged audience.
