Facebook and Marijuana

Trending

Available for over a year

We take a look at Facebook’s decision to remove pages that advertise and promote the use and sale of recreational marijuana and hear from one company whose page was taken down. The sale of marijuana is legal in four states in America - however it is still illegal under federal law. Women in Trinidad and Tobago are sharing their experiences of sexual assault and called on the mayor to resign, after he blamed a victim’s ‘vulgar’ behaviour for her death. Finally, why is Kanye West trending on social media? We have a round up for you. (Photo: Cannabis plant. Credit: Gareth Fuller/PA Wire)
