Yesterday Meta suspended dozens of cannabis-related Instagram accounts, including media outlets, creators, advocates, award winning brands and farms, and ours at Budist.

These suspensions came the day after the California Cannabis Awards, the first state-sanctioned cannabis competition in the world. The competition is part of the California State Fair, a celebration of agriculture excellence that has been running for 171 years, and is held at the Cal Expo in Sacramento. Our state capital welcomes more than 700k visitors over a two-week period, and this year, cannabis had a central presence.

Accounts suspended included partners at the Fair, like Embarc and Fat Nugs Magazine, and Golden Bear winners like Sonoma Hills Farm and Ridgeline Farms—some of the most respected names in the legal market. What we shared from our Budist account was educational, celebratory, and compliant. Yet Instagram continues to censor content, even when tied to legal, government-recognized events. Meanwhile, thousands of accounts selling unlicensed or illegal products remain up. The inconsistency is frustrating and unjust.

We understand that platforms like Meta need to enforce guidelines. But companies operating legally and in compliance deserve a clear and fair path to resolution when accounts are disabled. Right now, the options are limited: file a petition into an opaque review process or pay a broker or agency anywhere from $500 to $5k – with no guarantee of success. That’s not a sustainable or equitable system for a legal industry.

It’s so disappointing. This is why we built Budist, by the way…so we have a home where we can freely share information about licensed products and producers. We’ll keep pushing despite these challenges, and would appreciate your support in following our secondary account @Budist_Sessions, as well as the many brands, farmers, and creators who were affected. Onwards!
