WeedTuber

A weedtuber (a portmanteau of the words weed and YouTube) is a vlogger (an online video content creator) who deals with issues surrounding cannabis. Since cannabis legalization of the 2010s[1] the producers/hosts sometimes consume cannabis on camera.

Popular weedtubers may have 300,000 or more channel subscribers. One (Joel Hradecky) has over one million as of early 2017.[2][1] MassRoots listed 10 channels with over 100,000 subscribers in mid 2016.[3] The term "weedtuber" began to appear on Google Trends in early 2015.[4]

A sponsor is reported to be willing to pay a channel with over 100,000 subscribers between $300 and $1000 for mentioning their product.[1]

Legality

Some weedtube channels were produced where cannabis was illegal but tolerated at the time, like Vancouver, British Columbia's Stephen Payne aka "Marijuana Man".[5][6]
