Ive been taking some shirts and putting basic logos on them, and may turn it into more of a support movement if things take off further.
I registered the name California Chronic with the state of CA and been selling around here at headshops and whatnot, and also have the domains cachronic.com, and cachronicco.com.
what im trying to do now is get my internet promotion out there better and feel i can do ok with those domain names.
im not too familiar with maximizing the ability of online ads though and so far have just used google adwords. ive been wondering the best way to get higher up on the search rankings and also a good method to help maximize the efficiency of internet advertising.
Moved to Margorp/Whywork, this section of the forum can help you out more than the main section.
Good luck!

Any way you try to spin that site with AdWords, Google is going to keep all your money...
Aids to Pass Drug Tests
Don't promote aids to pass drug tests.
Advertising is not permitted for the promotion of products designed to help someone pass a drug test. This includes products such as drug cleansing shakes and urine test additives.
Alcohol
Don't promote unacceptable alcohol products.
Restrictions on the promotion of alcohol vary based on local regulations and type of alcoholic product:
Ads are not permitted to directly promote hard alcohol and liqueurs. This means that hard alcohol cannot be promoted in ad text or be the purpose of your site (occupying a significant portion of your site).
Advertisements for beer may target countries where such ads comply with local regulations. However, beer ads may not target the United States, U.S. territories (American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands), India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Malaysia.
Advertisements for champagne and wine are allowed everywhere that such advertisements comply with local regulations.
Since we consider beer, wine, and champagne to be products intended for the sale and consumption by adults, ads promoting these products will be given a Non-FamilySafe status.
Please note that some jurisdictions may enforce any of these additional regulations:
- require government permits for the advertisement of alcoholic beverages,
- prohibit advertisements for beverages with a certain level of alcohol content,
- and/or require certain disclaimers in advertisements for alcohol beverages. It is the advertiser's responsibility to comply with all local laws.
Drugs and Drug Paraphernalia
Don't promote drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Advertising is not permitted for the promotion of drugs and drug paraphernalia. This includes drug accessories, illegal drugs, and herbal drugs such as salvia and magic mushrooms.
Prescription Drugs and Related Content
The promotion of prescription drugs and related content is restricted.
Google AdWords only accepts pharmaceutical advertising from pharmacies that are based in the U.S. or Canada. Pharmacy-related ad campaigns can only target the U.S., U.S. territories (American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands), and/or Canada. Ads for prescription drugs will not be displayed in other countries. Additionally, Google AdWords requires all online pharmacy advertisers and affiliates to be a member of the PharmacyChecker Licensed Pharmacy Program. Ads ill not run until a valid PharmacyChecker identification number is provided.
Note that pet pharmacies and affiliates advertising pet prescription drugs when targeting the U.S. or Canada must also be PharmacyChecker approved.
If you meet the above requirements and want to get started, review Google's online pharmacy qualification process (http://www.google.com/adwords/pharmacy_qualification.html). If you are not granted a PharmacyChecker ID, we won't be able to run your ads. To be fair to all of our pharmacy advertisers, we make no exceptions.
Tobacco and Cigarettes
Don't promote tobacco and cigarettes.
Advertising is not permitted for the promotion of tobacco or tobacco-related products, including cigarettes, cigars, tobacco pipes, and rolling papers.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm saying that Google is a bad idea. AdBrite might be more lenient, but I'm not sure and no time to read the TOS. :)
Um our zoo is world famous. You can't beat that :P Sea World as well as the Steven Birch Aquarium pwn the shit out of LB Aquarium. But I still got love for LA so nbd ;)

He isn't talking about illegal vs. legal. Hes talking about what google will term you for. If they feel your site promotes marijuana, which they could clearly say it does, they could /end you. He's just lookin out for you

Bingo. Trying to save you from racking up $100 that Google is probably just going to keep.
