CBS Nixes WeedMaps' Times Square Ad

WeedMaps: "In our dream world, there would be a dispensary on every corner right next to NYC’s bodegas."

A simple 10-second spot promoting WeedsMaps' new New York website will not air on a video billboard in Times Square operated by CBS, despite an initial approval.

"I was surprised, not shocked," says WeedMaps' CEO Justin Hartfield, who's "cautiously optimistic that CBS is going to do the right thing."

NORML previously was approved for a spot in the same location.
